An 1825 Shilling I purchased a while ago. One of those coins I just don't get tired of looking at!

One of the reasons is obvoius to me:
Superb condition coin, with a sharp strike with dies in top condition.

Excellent detail in Geroge's hair, and in the faces of the lions on the reverse.
Even George's eyebrows show up.

George IV was also the last British Monarch to be depicted on circulating coins wearing the classic Roman style laurel wreath. I've always preferred the "majesty" of the laurel wreath to a crown or bare head portrait.
