I recently discovered two coins in fine condition. I put them away years ago, and forgot I had them. I assume they are British pennies.

1826 George IV
1831 Gulielmus IIII

Obviously, the one I'm curious about is the second listed.

Is this also George IV?

Any information would be appreciated.

George IV died in 1830;
he was succeeded by his brother William IV;
in 1837, their niece, Victoria, ascended.

Thanks.

I should have remembered.

It's been a long time since I studied English history.

The titles of the monarchs on British coins are in Latin. While the Latinized name of "George" is relatively easy (GEORGIVS), Latin doesn't have a letter "W", so they had to get creative to render William's name in Latin.

WIlliam III and IV appear as "GUILELMVS". William I and II, who reigned in the Middle Ages, appear as "PILLEMVS" or "PILLELMVS".
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
