About this display
Display your gold sovereign alongside a sculpture of St George and the Dragon, with an integrated platform for the coin.
This coin display presents Benedetto Pistrucci’s famous reverse: St George on a rearing horse, helmeted, striking down the dragon. A coin platform sits on the base beside the group so the piece becomes part of the composition.
Aurea Displays connects the physical coin with the artwork, symbolism and history behind the reverse that has defined the British gold sovereign since 1817.
Benedetto Pistrucci’s St George and the Dragon first appeared on the 1817 sovereign and has returned on sovereigns, crowns and later gold issues ever since. George, bare-chested and helmeted, rides right over the fallen dragon.
A sovereign measures about 22.05 mm. Crowns and other large British coins using the same reverse can also be displayed when their diameter and thickness are supplied.
This sculpture uses Pistrucci’s reverse as the starting point for a full three-dimensional group. The horse, dragon and rider are an artistic interpretation created to complement the gold sovereign type.
This display is particularly suited to pairing a gold sovereign, a crown, or another British coin with Pistrucci’s St George reverse.
The holder can be tailored to your coin’s diameter and thickness.
Please provide your coin’s diameter and thickness in the personalization field so the holder can be adapted to your chosen coin.
The rider, rearing horse and dragon follow Pistrucci’s St George type known from the sovereign.
It is an artistic interpretation, not an official Royal Mint product.
The coin rests naturally on the integrated platform without being glued, clamped or permanently attached, making it easy to place and remove.
The photographs show the display with an empty coin platform. A coin is not included.
Coin dimensions vary between denominations and individual pieces. Please provide the diameter and thickness of the coin you intend to display when ordering.
