From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

The two-pound piece in this reign was only struck as a pater in 1831. Again, as in the last reign, a limited number of proof sets were struck, and this coin was included in the sets. Since it never went into circulation it is properly called a pattern. This is the largest gold coin issued during his brief reign.
