Lot 1233		Great Britain. 5 Pounds, 1826. S.3797; Fr-373; KM-702. George IV.

Lot 1234		Great Britain. Proof 2 Pounds, 1826. S.3799; Fr-374; WR-228 (Rarity-2). George IV. Bare head style engraved by Merlen, who styled this portrait after the marble bust of the king by Chantrey. Raised Lettered edge (regnal date SEPTIMO). Very rare, perhaps 225 struck, as issued in the Proof sets of this year. Most of the larger gold coins of this style, seen these days, are badly impaired from poor handling over the past 180 years. This specimen is the exception to the rule. A lovely choice proof with deep cameo contrast in the king's portrait and also in the reverse shield, both of which are heavily frosted. The fields are deeply mirrored. Fine, very light hairlines on the obverse field are very minor distractions that detract only slightly from the sheer beauty of this truly rare gold coin.

Lot 1236		Great Britain. Two Pound Patterns of Obverse and Reverse, 1828. George IV, 1820-1830. Uniface strikings. Obverse and reverse, patterns in darken copper, undated but must be 1828 because of the edge inscription (ANNO REGNI NONO). By William Wyon after Chantrey's model, reverse by Johann B. Merlen. The pieces remain a mystery because no Two Pound coin was produced for George IV after 1826, although Sovereigns bearing the same portrait and design were produced until the time of the King's death in 1830. probably a unique pair, and an intriguing part of Georgian numismatic history. NGC graded Obverse, MS-62 Brown, and the reverse NGC graded MS 61 Brown. Estimated Value $1,700 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,920
