  Unique undated Ionian islands pattern (circa 1819), with George IV but worth posting it IMHO:

  I've always enjoyed tripping over the George III portraits
  that aren't seen very often, as on patterns and medals.
  Here are a few examples.

  Okay, not George but from another country that assisted in the Revolution era (and consequently went on to have its own). Here is Louis XVI on a Dixieme d'Ecu (sorry about the poor scan!)
