1 oz St George and the Dragon Silver Coin | 2024
Surely you have already been convinced by the exceptional quality and excellent design of the coins produced by the world-famous mint, “The Royal Mint.” This coin also makes a convincing statement. It combines the rich history of Great Britain with the striking brilliance of silver.
The Obverse Side
Here you witness the dramatic and fearless battle between St. George and the Dragon—a testament to both bravery and triumph. Highlighted in a sculptural manner, this depiction is a true masterpiece in its detailed representation. At the bottom edge of this reeded coin, you can see the year “2024.”
The Reverse Side
It features the portrait of the current English king, Charles III, who, unlike his mother Queen Elizabeth II, is looking to the right. Around his portrait is the inscription “CHARLES III. D G REX F D” along with the face value of the coin “2 POUNDS.” The letters “D G REX F D” are abbreviations of the Latin “Dei Gratia Rex Fidei Defensor.” In German, these abbreviations translate to “King by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith.”
The fine weight of this coin is 31.1035g.
