| Beschrijving keerzijde | The celebrated Pistrucci design of Saint George, helmeted and depicted as a nude classical warrior on horseback, thrusting a broken lance downward to slay a writhing dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The composition is rendered in high relief with a plain field, the dragon shown prostrate and vanquished in the lower right. The engraver's name PISTRUCCI appears in the exergue alongside the date, with no additional legend. The design is contained within a milled border. |

The "modified reverse" designation distinguishes this from the standard five-sovereign reverse by the absence of the die axis marks introduced during the same period. Produced across seven years of relatively modest annual mintages, these pieces were issued as bullion-adjacent prestige items rather than circulating currency — the five-sovereign denomination had not circulated since the Victorian era.
The fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley, was introduced in 1998 and would remain in use until 2015, when Jody Clark's fifth portrait replaced it across the gold sovereign series.
