St George and the Dragon 1/4 oz Gold 2024 - This coin release is the first in a series of bullion coins that will explore this legendary story of "Saint George and the Dragon". The story of Saint George and the dragon dates back to around the eleventh century and has been recounted many times in texts and art, inspiring some of the world's greatest artists. This theme has proven to be an enduring motif on coins, with Benedetto Pistrucci's interpretation on the reverse of the 1817 sovereign being perhaps the most famous and appreciated.

The coin is guaranteed by the British government as to its legality, purity and origin of the metal, and is also a legal tender in the issuer's country.

The obverse shows the likeness of King Charles III of Great Britain and the denomination, designed by Martin Jennings.

The reverse by Jody Clark depicts a dynamic depiction of the battle between good and evil, with Saint George driving his lance into the flesh of the beast lurking beneath his rising horse. The reverse contains information about the date of issue, weight and purity of the metal.
