St. George and the Dragon – an inspiring tale
The 2018 ten-ounce silver Valiant coin is inspired by the tale of St. George and the dragon. A classic tale of valour and tenacity, the world-famous legend has been attributed to Saint George since the 12th century although the basic tale has its roots in pre-Christian mythology. The best known version of the myth is based on the 'Golden Legend'. According to the story, St. George and his knights, Maurice, Theodore and Demetrius arrive in the town of Silene in Libya to find that a princess and her subjects are prisoners of a venomous dragon. St. George captures the beast by throwing his belt around its neck before slaying it with his lance.
The Silver Valiant – the Mint's first incuse coin
Now this timeless tale of courage and honour is the inspiration for the Royal Mint's new 10 oz silver coin. Acclaimed coin designer Etienne Milner offers a unique interpretation of one of the UK's most iconic motifs – St. George is shown on horseback, lance poised and ready to strike while the dragon writhes at his feet.
The ten-ounce Valiant is the Royal Mint's first bullion coin to feature an incuse design and an additional frosted finish ensures that every intricate detail stands out. The obverse of the coin bears Jody Clark's definitive 'fifth coinage portrait' of HM Queen Elizabeth II against the mint's elegant new guilloche background.
