NGC Expert Comments:
Britain’s King George IV was quite displeased with Benedetto Pistrucci’s 1820 bust of him on the empire’s coinage. To celebrate its replacement with a handsome portrait by William Wyon, a complete proof set was issued in 1826 from farthing through five pounds. These 11 coins are all presented here in this historic and attractive set. All of the proofs are choice or gem, with the finest of these being the glorious half sovereign NGC certified as PF 67 UC. The rare and magnificent two-pound and five-pound gold coins are represented by pieces grading PF 65 UC and PF 63 UC, respectively.
