| Reverse description | The iconic St George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci, originally modelled in 1817 and reproduced here in its classic form. Saint George, depicted as a helmeted and semi-nude heroic figure on horseback, is shown thrusting a broken lance downward at a winged dragon beneath the rearing horse's hooves. The composition is vigorous and dynamic, with a billowing cloak behind the rider and the fallen dragon rendered in fine anatomical detail. The engraver's name PISTRUCCI appears in the lower exergue, while the legend HONI · SOIT · QUI · MAL · Y · PENSE is inscribed in the surrounding border between two concentric circles. |
