A genuine 1821 King George IV silver sixpence, struck in the first year of the reign of George IV. Featuring the laureate left-facing portrait by Benedetto Pistrucci and the crowned royal shield reverse within a floral wreath, this is one of the most attractive early 19th-century British silver designs.

The 1821 sixpence is a scarcer date than many later George IV issues and is highly desirable among collectors of milled British silver.
