Not one of Britain's better monarchs, his reign as King lasted 10 years from 1820 - 1830. However, he was Prince Regent from 1811 when his father George III at 73 lapsed into final insanity. Gradually his reputation deteriorated causing the country much embarrassment, he became a national liability and but for the industrial revolution which was growing in strength the country would have been bankrupt. Due to the financial problems at the time there was a shortage of silver to produce the now scarce coinage of George IV.
