* Although now considered an impressive coin and one of the classics of the British numismatic series, the king considered the portrait unflattering and was determined to see it replaced by a more flattering and youthful portrait by William Wyon (1795-1851) after a bust by Sir Francis Chantrey (1781-1842). The practice of portraying a king as a Roman emperor was becoming unfashionable, but Pistrucci's portrait of George IV remains one of the most iconic in the British series.
