| Aanvullende informatie |
Alderney's 200th anniversary issue commemorates Benedetto Pistrucci's St. George and the Dragon design, first cut for the Royal Mint in 1817 and arguably the most continuously reproduced coin design in British numismatic history. Pistrucci, an Italian gem engraver working in London, reportedly refused to copy another artist's portrait of George III and instead insisted on working from life — a decision that nearly cost him the job of Chief Medallist, a title he eventually held in name only due to his foreign birth.
