The 1822 George IV Crown is a classic early 19th‑century British silver crown, struck at the Royal Mint, London during the Regency period. This impressive large‑size coin features the dignified laureate bust of George IV on the obverse, engraved in the refined neoclassical style characteristic of the era.
The reverse displays Benedetto Pistrucci’s legendary St George and the Dragon, one of the most celebrated designs in British numismatics. Its bold composition and sculptural detail have made the 1822 crown a centrepiece for collectors of milled silver.
The 1822 issue is well‑known for its strong strikes, attractive silver content, and its place within the early milled crown series. Examples with original tone, clean fields, and sharp detail are increasingly sought after by collectors of Regency‑era silver and George IV portrait coinage.
