Though it has origins in Greek and Roman stories, St. George and the Dragon is largely considered a Christian myth today. The story has been popularized in many visual depictions, including Benedetto Pistrucci’s 1817 Gold Sovereign engraving. Since then, George and the dragon have become a staple image on the British Sovereign. The Modern Masters Series gives three of today’s finest coin artists the opportunity to recreate this original masterpiece.

The obverse of 2022 Proof Ascension Island Silver Modern Masters St. George & The Dragon Coins contains a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Late Majesty served as Queen of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth realms from 1952 until her passing in September of 2022. Inscriptions read Elizabeth II, Ascension Island, Ten Pounds.

On the reverse side of 2022 2 oz Proof Ascension Island Modern Masters St. George & The Dragon Coins, there is a depiction of St. George fighting the dragon. This reimagining of Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic 1817 engraving pays homage to the original while also existing as its own unique piece of art.
