| Reverse description | Dynamic high-relief depiction of Saint George on horseback, lance raised, engaged in combat with a fearsome dragon coiled beneath the rearing steed. The composition closely follows the classic Benedetto Pistrucci design tradition, with Saint George shown in classical armour and the dragon rendered with outstretched wings and serpentine body. The legend ST GEORGE AND THE DRAGON arcs along the upper periphery, while ONE HUNDRED POUNDS runs along the lower periphery, all within a beaded border on a polished proof field. |
