Canadian Bank Note Series: Saint George Slaying Dragon – Fine Silver Coin – 2014
Second coin in the Bank Note series!
Your coin features part of the vignette that appeared on the $5 bank note issued in 1859 by the short-lived Bank of Western Canada. It shows Saint George slaying the dragon, a legend dating back thousands of years. Saint George was made the patron saint of England in the 1340s. As such, he became a popular figure on British medallions and coins, figuring prominently on the gold sovereign since 1817. The design of a caped Saint George on a rearing horse slaying a dragon at his feet became so iconic that it clearly inspired the artist working at the America Bank Note Company who created the design for the 1859 $5 bank note.
A superb keepsake highlighting a fascinating chapter in Canadian history. Order yours today!
