King George III (1760-1820)

George III was one of Britain's longest serving monarchs, and sat upon the throne for nearly 60 years. He was however, one of the most unfortunate ones, and spent most of his final years in poor mental health, for which he is sadly, best known.

Spanish Dollars

After years of War, the American Revolution, His Majesty's Treasury was severely depleted. One asset that the treasury held in abundance at the Bank of England was the Spanish silver dollar, which was a highly tradeable coin during the era. King George authorised the counter stamping of these Spanish coins with his own image. His image forms an inset within the portrait of King Charles III of Spain.

Obverse

The obverse features Jody Clark's portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II and is inscribed:

ELIZABETH II • DEI • GRA • REGINA • F • D • ST. HELENA

Reverse

The reverse features the image of King Charles III of Spain, as featured on the Spanish dollar, and an inset image of King George III.

The coin is inscribed:

HONI • SOIT • QUI • MAL • Y • PENSE

which roughly translates to "Evil be to him who evil thinks thereof".
