Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is a mule coin, meaning it has the obverse (front) of one coin and the reverse (back) of another coin. In this case, the obverse features George IV, while the reverse features Tamar, who was a queen of Georgia in the 12th century. This makes the coin a unique combination of two different designs and adds to its historical significance.
