The coin was issued during the reign of King George IV, who ruled the United Kingdom from 1820 to 1830, and its production was likely influenced by the growing industrialization and trade in the region. The use of copper as the material for the coin was also a common practice during this time period, as it was a relatively inexpensive and abundant resource.
