Britain’s Final Pre-Victorian Coinage Era

King William IV ascended to the throne in 1830 following the death of King George IV, becoming the last British monarch of the House of Hanover before the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. His reign marked a transitional period in British history and coinage, bridging the Georgian and Victorian eras while retaining the traditional pre-decimal £sd monetary system of pounds, shillings, and pence.

This category includes all British coins issued under King William IV between 1830 and 1837, including circulation strikes, Maundy money, gold Sovereigns, proof issues, and certified graded collector pieces. Denominations issued during the reign included the farthing, halfpenny, penny, threepence, fourpence (groat), sixpence, shilling, half crown, crown, and Sovereign.

Collectors can explore coins featuring the portrait of King William IV designed by William Wyon, one of the most respected engravers in British numismatic history. The series also includes highly sought-after Shield Back Sovereigns and Maundy silver sets, many of which survive today in limited numbers and premium certified grades.
