Gold Coin with Historical Design

This close-up view presents the detailed reverse side of a classic gold coin, prominently featuring the iconic depiction of St. George on horseback in the act of slaying the dragon. The intricate artwork highlights the equestrian figure with a spear, poised over the fallen mythical beast. Clearly visible at the bottom is the mintage year, 1905, along with the designer's initials 'B.P.', which refers to Benedetto Pistrucci, the renowned Italian engraver. This particular design is characteristic of British gold sovereigns, making it a piece of historical and numismatic significance.
