George IV, the [cancelled] visit to Southampton, copper medal, 1823, by William Wyon, signed W. WYON. SC: R: M:, laureate head l., rev. naval crown within a wreath, PORTUM SUTHAMPTONIAE INTRAVIT – VOTIS COMMUNITATIS, 54mm. (BHM.1205; Eimer 1169), extremely fine
The visit was cancelled due to a combination of the King's health and inclement weather. The family of Wyon's wife, Catherine Sophia née Keele, to whom he had been married for only two years, came from Southampton and this might have provided the medallist with a reason for producing the medal.
(100-140 GBP)
