British Coins, William IV, sovereign, 1831, first portrait, bare head r., rev. crowned shield of arms (S.3829; Marsh 16 [R2]), highly lustrous and sharply struck with normal light abrasions, mostly in the fields, certified and graded by NGC as About Uncirculated 58
This appealing example ranks with the better pieces to come to market in recent years and is easily distinguished from later, more commonly seen dates by the style and fullness of the curls in front of the king's ear, as well as his nose pointing to the second N rather than the I in the title. It is a distinctive portrait that is rarely seen. This is a high-end specimen for the variety.
