| Reverse description | The celebrated Pistrucci reverse design depicting Saint George, helmeted and in classical armour, mounted on a rearing horse and thrusting a broken lance downward to slay the writhing dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The composition is enclosed within a border, with the Garter motto HONI · SOIT · QUI · MAL · Y · PENSE disposed around the inner border, and the engraver's name PISTRUCCI inscribed in the lower exergue. The design is presented with exceptional relief and detail on the expansive proof flan, with a finely reeded collar border visible at the rim. |
