Description

The 1832 Gold Sovereign with the second bust of King William IV uses William Wyon's revised portrait of the monarch and Jean Baptiste Merlen's crowned shield reverse. It is catalogued separately from the first-bust type of the same date.\n\nStruck in 22-carat gold to the established full-Sovereign standard, the coin weighs approximately 7.98 grams and contains about 7.32 grams of fine gold. Small portrait details distinguish the two recognised obverse types, making careful identification important when building a complete William IV collection.\n\nThe short reign and limited date range give William IV Sovereigns enduring collector interest, with condition and accurate type attribution playing a significant role in value.
