1836 William IV Groat
William IV was the third son of George III and ascended the throne after the death of his brother, George IV. The majority of his nearly seven-year reign was dominated by the reform crisis, which saw the introduction of the Great Reform Bill, giving the British people a more accurate representation in parliament.
This William IV Groat is year-dated 1836 and has been graded as AU75. The obverse features the coinage portrait of William IV designed by the legendary William Wyon RA. The reverse features a design of a seated Britannia facing to the right, holding a trident and a shield.
