History
The legend of St. George and the Dragon goes back to the 11th and 12th centuries. The tale tells of a dragon that demanded tributes and human sacrifices from a village. When a princess was chosen as the next offering, St. George intervened and defeated the dragon, saving the village. This dramatic image has been a significant feature in British currency, particularly in Benedetto Pistruccis design seen on British Sovereigns since 1817.
