George IV (George Augustus Frederick) was king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. George IV led an extravagant lifestyle that contributed to the fashions of the Regency era. He was a patron of new forms of leisure, style and taste.It sounds like you have a gold sovereign from 1827, which is a valuable coin. It could be a half sovereign, because the two coins look alike, only their size and weight are different:HALF SOVEREIGN: 19 mm diameter, 0.118 troy ounces goldSOVEREIGN: 22 mm diameter, 0.235 troy ounces goldThe amazing coin in our picture comes from (where else?) GoldSovereigns.co.uk, one of Chard's family of web sites. CoinQuest thanks Chard for use of their coin photo. It is a beauty!This series of coins runs from 1825 to 1830. To figure value, you must use a two-step process. First, compute the base value (BV) of the coin due to gold content. Multiply the gold content of the coin by the current price of gold. At this writing, gold is selling at $1197 US dollars per troy ounce. (Look it up at kitco.com; prices change every day.) BV of these coins is then:HALF SOVEREIGN: BV = 0.118 x 1197 = $141 US dollarsSOVEREIGN: BV = 0.235 x 1197 = $282 US dollarsSecond, compute catalog value by adding a collector premium to the BV, as follows.HALF SOVEREIGN:worn: BV + $150 US dollars approximate catalog valueaverage circulated: BV + $400well preserved: BV + $800fully uncirculated: BV + $1400SOVEREIGNS DATED 1825, 1826, 1827, 1829, AND 1830:worn: BV + $300 US dollars approximate catalog valueaverage circulated: BV + $900well preserved: BV + $2000fully uncirculated: BV + $3500Sovereigns dated 1828 are very rare and the value goes to the sky, with catalog values like this:SOVEREIGN DATED 1828:worn: $7000 US dollars approximate catalog valueaverage circulated: $15000well preserved: $34000fully uncirculated: $85000It is best have your coin authenticated, graded, and encapsulated by NGC(click here), PCGS(click here), ANACS(click here), or ICG(click here).

The 'denomination within pedestal' appears on many coins of the period. The reverse inscription IN DEO CONSILIUM means 'In God's plan.'Most of these coins you see today are pretty well beat up.

The obverse features a beautiful crowned imperial eagle of Austria and the somewhat cryptic inscription 'FRANC. II. D. G. R. I. S. A. GE. HV. BO. REX. A. A. D. VENET.' Written out, this roughly translates to 'Francis II, by the Grace of God, Eternal Roman Emperor, King of the Germans, Hungarians and Bohemians, Archduke of Austria, Duke of the Venetians'.These coins have a written denomination of one and a half lira, which equaled 30 soldi (the plural of soldo), the base unit of denomination in many Italian states at the time, including Venice. Different states had different exchange rates of their local soldi to the more broadly used lira, and thus it made more sense to denominate this larger coin as 1½ lira. Smaller coins that mainly circulated locally were denominated as soldi.Catalog values are quite nice, as listed below:worn: $50 US dollars approximate catalog valueaverage circulated: $100well preserved: $240fully uncirculated: $500Damaged coins will be worth a few dollars.
