The 2026 1/4 oz British St George and the Dragon Gold Coin is the third annual release in The Royal Mint's St George and the Dragon Bullion Coin Collection. Struck from 1/4 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, it features Sandra Deiana's contemporary interpretation of one of the most iconic designs in British coinage while carrying a £25 GBP face value as UK legal tender.
More than simply honoring a historic design, the 2026 edition continues a tradition that began nearly five centuries ago. With The Royal Mint's renowned craftsmanship, this release brings one of Britain's most celebrated coin motifs to a new generation of collectors and investors.
The year 2026 marks the 500th anniversary of St George's first appearance on English coinage. Introduced on the reverse of the George noble during the reign of Henry VIII in 1526, the image has remained one of the most enduring symbols in British numismatic history. This anniversary makes the 2026 release the most historically significant issue in the series to date.
The 1/4 oz size offers the most affordable way to own a coin from the St George and the Dragon gold series. It features the same Sandra Deiana reverse design and Royal Mint production quality found on the larger 1 oz and 1/2 oz editions while requiring a smaller investment.
BOLD Precious Metals is an authorized dealer of Royal Mint bullion products. Every coin ships directly from the mint and is guaranteed authentic.
The image of St George and the Dragon has been closely linked with British coinage for centuries, with Benedetto Pistrucci's famous Sovereign design remaining its most recognized interpretation.
The story of St George defeating the dragon represents the triumph of good over evil, courage in the face of danger, and the protection of the realm. These enduring ideals have helped establish St George as one of England's most respected national symbols.
The design first appeared on English coins in 1526 with the introduction of the George noble during the reign of Henry VIII. Its inclusion reflected both devotion to England's patron saint and the Crown's desire to reinforce national identity during a period of political change. The inscription from that historic coin appears once again on the 2026 bullion release, creating a direct connection between Tudor gold coinage and The Royal Mint's modern bullion series.
With origins dating back to the 11th century, the legend of St George has inspired generations of artists and storytellers. Its dramatic battle between knight and dragon continues to be one of the most recognizable themes in numismatic art.
While Benedetto Pistrucci's celebrated 1817 design remains the defining image of the modern Gold Sovereign, Sandra Deiana offers a fresh interpretation for today's collectors. Rather than copying the classic artwork, she presents a modern vision that preserves the timeless story of the mounted knight defeating the dragon while giving it a distinctive contemporary character.
Reverse: Sandra Deiana's St George and the Dragon
The reverse showcases Sandra Deiana's striking interpretation of the legendary battle between St George and the Dragon, capturing the dramatic moment as the mounted knight defeats the fearsome creature. Created to commemorate the 500th anniversary of St George's appearance on British coinage, the design combines traditional symbolism with a fresh artistic approach. A textured background enhances the artwork, while a surrounding micro-text border displays the coin's year, weight, and purity.
Around the central design is an inscription taken directly from the historic 1526 George noble—the first British coin to feature St George. By incorporating the exact wording from Henry VIII's gold coin, The Royal Mint creates a meaningful link between its modern bullion program and five centuries of British coinage history.
