Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Saint George and the dragon, which is different from the traditional depiction of the legend on coins. The design was created by the artist, John Mills, and it shows Saint George standing on a rocky outcrop, with the dragon coiled around his legs. The coin's gold plating adds an extra layer of elegance to the design, making it a truly special piece for collectors.
