Description

Half-Crown coin of George III, 1816. The inscription reads GEORGIUS III DEI GRATIA (George III by the Grace of God).

English: The portrait, known to collectors as the "bull-head George," was by the Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci, who was unable to engrave it from life since the King was insane. The design was met with such public hostility that it was withdrawn.
English: This coin is listed in the Standard Catalogue of British Coins under the ID 3788.
