| Lot description: Great Britain George IV gold "Laureate Head" Sovereign 1825 MS62 PCGS, KM682, S-3800, Marsh-9 (R3). Laureate head. Year 1825 saw two versions of Sovereign issued, and this laureate head type is considerably rarer than the bare head bearing the same date. According to Marsh, the disruption arose from chief engraver Pistrucci's refusal to use the effigy of the King designed by Frances Legatt Chanterey. While the laureate head half Sovereign comes up in this caliber with relative frequency, Mint State full Sovereign appearances are uncommon. The coin at hand showcases a lemon-yellow hue with rolling peripheral luster to obverse, surrounding the sharply rendered effigy of the King. A pleasing selection which we expect to draw in premium bids.
