2018 Great Britain Gold Half Sovereign BU

There are few coins in modern-day bullion that carry such a deep connection with history as the half-sovereign of Great Britain. This incredible series of coins have carried the same design, that of St. George and the Dragon as created by Benedetto Pistrucci, for 200 years. This year, The Royal Mint celebrates the 65th coronation anniversary of the world’s longest-reigning monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and has added a special mintmark to sit alongside the classic design.

St. George is arguably one of the most well-known of Christianity’s saints and is particularly known for his role as the patron saint of England. As the story goes, St. George was traveling and came upon a town that was suffering from the presence of a dragon. In order to appease the beast, lots were drawn and those that were chosen were offered as a sacrifice. At the time that he passed through, the king’s daughter had been chosen as the sacrifice. St. George defended the town and its people by defeating the dragon and thus saved the king’s daughter.
