COIN

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The coin, which is a bit tarnished with age, displays an engraved profile of a male figure facing left on one side, surrounded by the inscription “GEORGIUS IV DEI GRATIA.” Below the portrait, the date “1826” is clearly visible, indicating the coin's year of minting. The coin’s metallic hue ranges from a muted gold to a darker bronze tone, reflective of its age and possibly its composition. The overall visual, with its contrast between the coin and the rich, dark fabric background, highlights the coin's antiquity and historical character.
