George IV Gold Two Pounds (1823)
Authorized under the monetary framework of the Great Recoinage, the 1823 gold two-pound piece represents the sole circulating double sovereign struck during the reign of King George IV, pairing Jean Baptiste Merlen's engraving of Francis Chantrey's portrait with Benedetto Pistrucci's neoclassical Saint George and the Dragon.
