| Beschrijving keerzijde | Saint George, mounted on his destrier in dynamic equestrian pose, raises his lance in preparation to strike the dragon prostrate beneath the horse's hooves. The composition follows the classic Benedetto Pistrucci tradition, capturing the moment of decisive action with the dragon coiled and vanquished below. The reverse field is otherwise plain, with the engraver's initials AP appearing in the lower field. The design conveys vigorous movement and is rendered in high relief consistent with proof coinage standards. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar has issued gold coinage under Royal Mint-style specifications since the 1990s, producing quarter sovereigns that closely mirror the British sovereign series in alloy and format — a deliberate commercial strategy aimed at the bullion and collector markets that already trust the sovereign's long-established fineness. The 2017 date places this piece within a particularly active run of Gibraltar gold, when the territory was aggressively expanding its numismatic program ahead of the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, which threatened to complicate cross-border coin sales with EU member states.
