Designers: Ian Rank-Broadley and Timothy Noad
Following the success of the 2002 Golden Jubilee edition of The Sovereign, Timothy Noad was commissioned to produce another reverse change in 2005. The coin features a modern reimagining of the classic St George and the dragon scene by Benedetto Pistrucci that has graced The Sovereign since 1817.
Depicting a large dragon and St George raising his sword ready to strike, the image is bolder than the traditional design, taking up more space on the coin’s surface. This increases the drama and tells a vivid story in an exceptional piece of numismatic art.
Timothy Noad's specially created reverse was available for one year only, accompanied by Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of a mature Queen Elizabeth II. The fabulous coin was struck for a spectacular edition in this historic series.
