In 2009 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
2009 Gold Proof Half Sovereign features
Pistrucci's St George and The Dragon . The obverse is
Ian Rank Broadley's portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
