A highly attractive 1819 LIX Crown of George III, the famous “Bull Head” type.
Struck in sterling silver during the final years of George III’s reign, this issue represents one of the most iconic and short-lived portrait styles in British numismatics.
The coin displays strong mint detail throughout, particularly in the hair curls and St George reverse, with excellent definition remaining in the dragon and ground line.
Certified by NGC as UNC Details (Cleaned). Despite the designation, the coin retains pleasing eye appeal and strong underlying uncirculated sharpness.
A desirable Regency-era crown in premium condition.
