St George and the dragon is one of England’s most enduring tales of honor, courage, and victory. According to this medieval legend, St George valiantly slays an evil dragon and rescues a Swedish princess just in time for her to be chosen as its next meal. Almost 1,000 years later, The Royal Mint reinvents this timeless story of the Valiant in this artfully-created 1 oz silver coin.
The 2019 Valiant Silver coin is exquisitely struck in .9999 pure silver in a frosted, incuse design. The coin also features frosting on the reverse to further enhance the image. This is the first release of the 1 oz Valiant coin, which debuted in a 10 oz format in 2018.
The obverse is designed by Royal Mint coin artist Jody Clark, creator of the latest portrait of Her Majesty The Queen on UK coinage and The Queen’s Beasts Collection. It features the right-profile image of Queen Elizabeth II in a guilloche design against a diamond-patterned background. “ELIZABETH II” is inscribed, along with the coin’s denomination.
The reverse features coin artist Etienne Milner’s modern take on the medieval portrayal of St George and the Dragon. St George is clothed in full armor as he battles the evil dragon to save the Swedish princess. His white stallion rears up in alarm as he hoists his spear and pierces the monster’s neck. The iconic image is set against a diamond background pattern. The coin’s weight, purity, and year of issue inscribed in a smooth border around the image.

The stock images that Provident is using, don't do this coin justice. This is a high-relief coin and the design really stands out when you see it up close in 3D.
It's a great looking coin in .9999 silver and it's affordable. Get some! " |

Really great that comes with a capsule and glad about that due to capsule is really scratched up. Better the capsule scratched than the coin!
