Obverse and reverse, patterns in darken copper, undated but must be 1828 because of the edge inscription &#40;ANNO REGNI NONO&#41;. By William Wyon after Chantrey&#39;s model, reverse by Johann B. Merlen. The pieces remain a mystery because no Two Pound coin was produced for George IV after 1826, although Sovereigns bearing the same portrait and design were produced until the time of the King&#39;s death in 1830. probably a unique pair, and an intriguing part of Georgian numismatic history. <B>NGC graded Obverse, MS-62 Brown, and the reverse NGC graded MS 61 Brown.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,700-2,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 96832<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/36jpegs/096832.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/36jpegs/096832N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
