Buy Milled Crown George III (1760-1820) Coins

Born in 1728 to Frederick, who was the son of King George II, and his wife, Augusta of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, King George III is remembered as the king who lost America. George reigned at a time when the monarchy's power was dwindling, however, and it was Parliament that implemented the policies that led to the American Revolution (1775 - 1783). Throughout his reign, George III suffered from bouts of an illness that caused him to go mad. By 1811, he'd became too ill to rule. Instead, his son, also called George, became Prince Regent and ruled on his father's behalf for nearly 10 years until the king's death in 1820.
