In 2006 the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue St George and the Dragon Gold Proof Half Sovereign Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold.
Pistrucci's St George and The Dragon , 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, with the sole exception of the special 1989 commemorative coins, it has graced the reverse of nearly every
British sovereign since
Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in
1887 .
The reverse design of the
2006 Gold Proof Half Sovereign features
Pistrucci's St George and The Dragon . The obverse is
Ian Rank Broadley's portrait of the Queen. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
