Three historic monarchs

St George and the Dragon design

The reverse of each coin portrays Benedetto Pistrucci's classic St George and the Dragon design. The obverse of each Sovereign depicts the original King George V portrait which was used from 1911 to 1928.

Struck at the Perth, Melbourne and Sydney mints in 22 carat gold, each sovereign features the traditional 'P', 'M' or 'S' mintmark.
