2020 Royal UK Mint Silver Valiant Coin 10oz

Description

Bullion Now is excited to have the 2020 Royal Mint Valiant 10oz silver coin in stock!

The Valiant series from the Royal Mint focuses on the image of St. George as he slays a dragon. The image of St. George battling a dragon is a popular one in British history and that of the Christian church. His figure has appeared on the prominent Great Britain Gold Sovereign coin in a different design since at least 1817.

The reverse features the image of St. George on horseback as he slays a dragon. As his horse rears back, George leans forward on his spear to drive it into the neck of the powerful dragon. He is featured with his full armour on in this design and his shield with the cross of St. Andrew on it.

Folklore states that the hill upon which St. George dispatched the dragon grass and plants no longer grow after the ground was poisoned by the blood of the dragon.

The obverse features the fifth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The longest-reigning monarch in British history, Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief in a design created in 2015 by Jody Clark. This effigy captures Her Majesty at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem. Also known as the Royal Diadem, the Queen only wears this crown during the State Opening of Parliament.
