Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her diamond jubilee in 2012. As part of the celebrations a special design was created for the gold sovereign issues of that year. The design by Paul Day features a strikingly modern interpretation of St George slaying the Dragon. This romantic adaptation shows St George as a medieval knight of Arthurian style, with a dragon of more threatening attitude and size, its wings have a harp-like quality in contrast to the realism of the knight and horse. This is only the third time St George has been redesigned, and only the third commemorative sovereign ever issued. A small quantity of those sovereigns were embedded with a tiny diamond and sold in specially packaged wooden boxes. Obverse: Depicts a bust of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. Reverse: An updated version of St. George mounted on horseback slaying a dragon.   Certificate:  Wooden Box
