GREAT BRITAIN. George IV Coronation Gold Medal, 1821. London Mint. NGC PROOF-62.
BHM-1070; Eimer-1146A. By B. Pistrucci. Diameter: 34mm; Weight: 31.35 gms. Obverse: Laureate head left; Reverse: George seated left on throne, being crowned by Victory to right; to left, Britannia, Hibernia, and Scotia standing right. Incredibly mirrored and dazzled, this elegant and provocative coronation issue offers majestic artistry and a hint of a cameo nature between the brilliant fields and subtly frosted devices. Some minor friction is noted in the fields, though it is easy to overlook on account of the radiating eye appeal. A SCARCE and ever popular offering in gold.

On this type, Pistrucci's elegant yet powerful style is on full display, such as the soft fullness in George's facial features as well as the sculpted--almost stylized--ruffled hair of the monarch. Exceedingly impressive and highly attractive. To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click here.
