| Additional information |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative five-pound pieces with unusual regularity since the 1990s, often targeting the British collector market with subjects that have no particular connection to the territory itself. The Legend of Saint George falls squarely into that pattern — a theme rooted in English national mythology with origins in the medieval hagiographic tradition, most codified in Jacobus de Voragine's Legenda Aurea of the 13th century.
