1 oz, UK, 2020, Silver, The Valiant
1oz, UK, 2020, Silver, The Valiant. This coin is part of The Valiant range of bullion coins, featuring Etienne Millner's new take on St George and dragon legend.
"A timeless adventure, a tale of honour, courage, and victory - this is the story of St George and the dragon. In 2019, The Royal Mint has reinvented this tale for modern times and the overseas investment market. Artist Etienne Millner's interpretation of England's patron saint features prominently on the one-ounce and ten-ounce Bullion Silver Valiant Coin. The action of the design seems to fill the coin, giving it an exciting sense of vibrancy." stated the Mint

Features on a textured background, the representation of Saint George on horseback slaying the dragon, his lance piercing the dragon's neck. The knight is bare-head, armoured, with a dagger hanging from his belt; his shield, hanging from the saddle, carries the cross of England.
The dexter (on the left) supporter is a crowned English lion; the sinister (on the right), is a Scottish unicorn. According to legend, a free unicorn was considered a very dangerous beast; therefore the heraldic unicorn is chained, as were both supporting unicorns in the royal coat of arms of Scotland, with a crown around its neck. Has a textured background of rays radiating out from the centre (a "sunburst pattern"). Lettering: 1 oz FINE SILVER 999.9 2020 |
