Comments
Struck for the new monarch, who succeeded his father on December 14, 1788, this type has two particularities:
-Name of the sovereign in "IV" version instead of "IIII" usually.
-Portrait of the previous sovereign, that of Charles III (probably due to a delay of new corner which came from Spain)
Sheet of the variant with the bad portrait but with the figure in four sticks "IIII":
