| 裏面の説明 | The reverse features the celebrated Pistrucci design of Saint George, depicted as an armoured and helmeted knight on a rearing horse, thrusting a broken lance downward into the vanquished dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The dragon lies prostrate in the lower field, its wings spread and claws raised. The date appears in the exergue below the groundline, flanked to the right by the mintmark B.P. (Bullion Proof, here indicating the Pretoria Mint), with a toothed milling border encircling the design. |

The George V sovereign continued production at multiple branch mints simultaneously — Ottawa, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Bombay, and Pretoria all struck sovereigns during this period, each identifiable by mint mark. The London issues carry no mint mark at all. Bombay struck sovereigns only in 1918, making that single-year issue considerably scarcer than its London counterparts.
By 1925, Britain was preparing to return to the gold standard, abandoned during the First World War. Sovereign production at London ceased after that year's issue, not resuming until 1957.
