George IV 1825 Pattern Shilling, different reverse, rarity 5, PF62

George IV (1820-30), silver Pattern Shilling, 1825, second bare head left, date below, legend and toothed border surrounding, GEORGIUS IV DEI GRATIA, rev. inverted die axis, small crowned lion standing left on large crown over emblems, legend commences lower left, BRITANNIARUM REX FID: DEF: edge milled, weight 5.64g (Bull 2417 R5 plate coin; Davies 241; ESC 1264 R5). Darker tone, a little patchy in places, otherwise practically as struck, extremely rare, has been graded and slabbed by NGC as PF62.

NGC certification 2722100-006

The Latin obverse legend translates as "George the Fourth by the Grace of God," and on the reverse "King of the Britains, Defender of the Faith."

These "small lion" patterns carry the same obverse as the currency shilling but the reverse not only differs in the sizing of the lion but also in the large crown below it, and the wording of the legend which has more abbreviated Latin than that adopted for the currency piece.

Provenance:

Ex Baldwin Auction 44, 2nd May 2006, lot 979.
