King George 1V 1825 Silver Sixpence. (Low Mintage) in  better VF Condition.

(Side Note for Grading as follows)

There is little detail in the Lions faces but this due to the comparatively small size of the coin rather than wear or any die weakness.

This coin features the First type head & Second reverse

The first George 1V bust was designed by Benedetto Pistrucci. The reverses of the sixpences was the same as the reverse of the larger shillings. The first used for 1821 only, featured a crowned ornate shield with a large rose under it. The second reverse used from 1824 to 1826 inclusive, featured a squarer shield with a circular garter surrounding it, and no rose beneath it. The third reverse which is only found with the second obverse (the design by william Wyon) was a complete change and features a lion standing on a crown.
