| Beschrijving keerzijde | The celebrated St. George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci depicts an armoured St. George on horseback, his cloak billowing behind him, thrusting a broken spear downward into a writhing dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The composition fills the entire field with dynamic movement. The date appears in the exergue below the groundline, flanked by the mint mark (M or S) to the left and Pistrucci's engraver's initials B.P. to the right. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1887 "Jubilee" sovereign introduced a new effigy of Victoria to mark her Golden Jubilee, but the portrait — designed by Joseph Boehm — was almost immediately controversial. Critics, including the Queen herself, found the small crown perched atop the head faintly ridiculous, and the type was replaced after just a few years by the older-head portrait introduced in 1893. That brevity gives the Jubilee sovereign a naturally compressed mintage window despite its production across multiple mints including London, Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth.
George de Aguilar's reverse die, carrying Pistrucci's St. George, was retained throughout.
