William IV became king in

1830 at age 62 after the death

of his brother (George IV),

who had no surviving heirs.


The first King William IV

United Kingdom sixpence was

minted in 1831, and the

last in 1837.

features the bare head of William IV facing right.


The reverse shows the words 'SIX PENCE' with the royal

crown above, and a small scroll below, surrounded by an

open wreath tied with a bow. Below the wreath is the date.

Dubbed 'the sailor king' for his naval service in his

younger years, William had not expected to be King.

William did not marry, due primarily to the Royal

Marriages Act of 1772, which forbade decendants

of George II from marriage without consent from the

monarch, or privy council. William did have a defacto

relationship producing many children. None were

considered legitimate, so had no claim on the throne.
