The 1821 George IV Crown is one of the most admired early 19th‑century British silver crowns, struck at the Royal Mint, Tower Hill in sterling silver (.925) and issued during the second year of George IV’s reign.
The obverse presents the bold laureate portrait of George IV, engraved in the refined neoclassical style characteristic of the period. The reverse displays Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon, a design that has dominated British crown coinage since 1817 and remains one of the most celebrated motifs in numismatics.
The 1821 crown is admired for its substantial weight, elegant design, and relatively modest mintage. Attractive examples with original tone, strong detail, and clean fields are increasingly sought after by collectors of Regency‑era silver and early milled crowns.
