In 2005 the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Brilliant Uncirculated St George and the Dragon £5 Five Pound Sovereign Gold Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold a features new portrayal of St George and The Dragon and has been Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as MS69.

Created by Timothy Noad, this modern interpretation of the centuries-old story depicts St George locked in combat with The Dragon.

As an elected Fellow of the Society of Scribes and Illuminators, Timothy Noad is a Highly respected and internationally recognised heraldic artist and calligrapher.
In his new design for 2005, he concentrated on the drama between the protagonists: St George, his horse and the dragon.

As a heraldic artist, he felt it was important to make St George's shield the focal point of the design. With the dragon allowing some artistic freedom, the details of St George's shield and horse's anatomy enabled him to represent them in a convincing yet stylised way.
