Comment
The standard weight of these coins was 10/11 troy ounce (436.4 grains).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1825-1826 George IV 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield bearing the royal arms of the United Kingdom, which is located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design specifically to indicate that George IV had been crowned as the King of the United Kingdom, and it is not found on other coins issued during his reign.
