These crownsized Patina were issued to show what Irish crowns of William IV might have looked like, had they actually been issued. On the obverse you have the bust of William IV just like it looks on the 1831 British crown. The reverse has a crowned Irish Harp, they are retro-dated 1830 so as not confuse collectors. They are beautiful crownsized pieces in Prooflike condition.  The workmanship is outstanding especially on the bust of William IV. A pattern crown of 1831 will cost you £10,000-£20,000.
Great addition to World coin collection.
