George III, ca. 1820, British, Onyx and gold, Visible cameo: x mm, Lapidary Work-Gems, Apparently made as a memorial, this cameo captures George III (r. 1760–1820) in old age, pink, roly-poly and bug-eyed but occupying the field with tremendous authority, much as in the coins designed by Benedetto Pistrucci, which it emulates
