In 1817, Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci created the legendary image of St. George and the dragon for Britain’s reintroduced gold sovereign. Commissioned as part of the Great Recoinage, his dynamic design became an enduring emblem of British coinage, symbolizing bravery and triumph over adversity. Over the next 200 years, the motif remained central to sovereigns, celebrated for its balance of strength, movement, and classical detail.

To honor this artistic legacy, The Royal Mint released special editions in 2017, including fractional proof sovereigns like the 1/4 oz coin. Struck in limited numbers with exquisite proof quality, these coins pay homage to Pistrucci’s enduring influence and the sovereign’s status as one of the world’s most admired gold coins.
