Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design of St George and the Dragon, which is a popular symbol of bravery and protection in British culture. The design is particularly notable because it was created by a renowned artist, John Bergdahl, who is known for his exceptional skill in crafting intricate and detailed designs for coins. The fact that the coin is made of 1 kilogram of fine silver (.999) and has a limited mintage of only 250 pieces, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item.
