Gold Coin George and the Dragon Half Sovereign 2025 Proof

The George and the Dragon Half Sovereign 2025 Proof Gold Coin is a collector’s issue inspired by one of the most famous legends of medieval Europe – the story of St George and the Dragon. The coin was struck from 4 grams of Au 917 gold in Proof quality and combines classical symbolism with modern design. The worldwide mintage is limited to just 799 pieces.

The legend of St George has symbolized for centuries the triumph of good over evil, courage over fear, and the willingness to sacrifice oneself in defense of others. The motif of a knight slaying a dragon has become one of the most recognizable symbols in British numismatics, and its contemporary interpretation was created by the acclaimed designer John Bergdahl, while preserving the historical character of this timeless scene.

The coin was issued under the authority of Alderney, has a face value of Half Sovereign, a diameter of 19.3 mm, and was struck from 4 grams of Au 917 gold. The Proof finish highlights the exceptional precision of the workmanship, showcasing the contrast between the mirror-like background and the frosted elements of the relief.

Obverse: features the official effigy of King Charles III by Jody Clark. The design also includes the name of the issuer, Alderney, and the denomination Half Sovereign.

Reverse: depicts a dynamic scene in which St George pierces the dragon with a spear, symbolically defeating the forces of evil. The design by John Bergdahl faithfully captures the drama of the legendary battle, while the composition is completed by the year of issue 2025.
