In 2021 Benham in conjunction with the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue St George and the Dragon Gold Proof Full Sovereign Coin First Day Cover struck in solid 22 Carat Gold with a special unique "95" Privy
Mark to celebrate the Queens 95th Birthday.
Pistrucci's St George and The Dragon, seemingly inseparable from the British Sovereign, is acclaimed throughout the world as a masterpiece of numismatic art. Its 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 2021 Gold Proof Sovereign features Pistrucci's St George and The Dragon while the obverse features the Fifth Portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
