Description This quarter ounce gold coin, dated 2024, focuses on the legend of St George and the Dragon. The legend of Saint George and the Dragon has become an important chapter in the folklore and traditions of many countries, that tells of Saint George’s victory over a dragon. Saint George is the patron saint of England and it is believed that the bravery and heroism displayed in the story, became popular with English kings who wanted to be viewed in the same way. During Henry VIII’s reign in the 16th century, the emblem of Saint George (St George’s Cross) became the flag of England. Benedetto Pistrucci’s portrayal of St George and the Dragon, on the Sovereign, is arguably the most celebrated. The reverse of the coin features a powerful depiction of the fight between good and evil, focusing on St George driving his horse into the lurking dragon.
