This coin is the first in a series of bullion coins that will explore the legend of St George.
The depiction of St George and the Dragon has long been a tradition on British coinage, with Benedetto Pistrucci’s interpretation on the gold sovereign coin being the most well known. The legend of St George slaying the dragon symbolises victory of good over evil, courage in the face of danger, and protection of the realm, ideals which solidify St George’s importance as a figure of national pride.
The epic battle between Saint George and the Dragon has been a staple of mythology and of British coinage for hundreds of years. According to the story, the dragon initially demanded tribute from a village, when they ran out of livestock and valuables they began offering a human sacrifice each year. This arrangement was tolerable for the villagers until a princess was selected as the next offering. At this point Saint George intervened, rescuing the princess and slaying the dragon.
The reverse: of the coin features a dramatic and dynamic design by Jody Clark depicting St George on horseback as he drives his lance into the body of the scaled dragon. The design is set upon a textured background and is surrounded by a border detailing the coin’s year date, weight, and fineness.
The obverse: of the coin bears the uncrowned portrait of King Charles III designed by sculptor Martin Jennings, along with the coin’s monetary denomination of 2 pounds.
