Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.

The Latin legends translates on obverse as "William the Fourth by the Grace of God, King of the Britons, Defender of the Faith."
The so-called first bust depiction of William IV was only used on Sovereigns of 1831 and 1832 with its rounded top to the ear and a differing position of the bust compared to the legend surrounding. The "second" bust though used concurrently with the first bust, lasted much longer in use till the end of the reign in 1837.
