In 2003 the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue St George and the Dragon Gold Proof Full Sovereign Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold.
Pistrucci's St George, seemingly inseparable from the
British Sovereign , is acclaimed throughout the world as a masterpiece of numismatic art. It's appeal has been so enduring that it has now graced the reverse of nearly every
Sovereign issued since the
Golden Jubilee of
Queen Victoria in
1887 and was extended to the
Half Sovereign in
1893 . The
2003 Gold Proof Full Sovereign is particularly significant, being issued in the year that Her Majesty, The Queen celebrates the 50th Anniversary of her Coronation. The reverse carries Pistrucci's classic design of
St George Slaying The Dragon while the obverse depicts
Ian Rank Broadley's elegant portrait of the Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
