Interesting fact
The 1 Sovereign - Elizabeth II (The Legend of Saint George - Selection) 2018 coin from Gibraltar features a unique design that showcases the legend of Saint George, the patron saint of England, slaying a dragon. This design is particularly interesting because it is a departure from the traditional depiction of Saint George on coins, which typically shows him on horseback and holding a lance. Instead, this coin features a more dynamic and action-packed scene, with the dragon and Saint George in the midst of battle. This unique design makes the coin stand out from other coins in the series and adds to its collectibility.
