<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 11854, member: 669&quot;]Welcome to the forum Hero.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never heard St. George described as a Trojan Warrior before, and I&#039;ve certainly never heard of the fabled dragon being called &quot;another fallen Warrior&quot;, but you have a coin with a design that has been used repeatedly on English coins, depicting St. George slaying the Dragon, .</p><p><br /></p><p>The legend means &quot;Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen and&nbsp; Defender of the Faith&quot;, and is one variation of the standard legend on coins of Great Britain and other members of the British Empire/Commonwealth (with, of course, the name of the current monarch as of the coin&#039;s date).&nbsp; Lack of any country name on such a coin means it is from Great Britain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Generally requests to identify coins should include mention of the size of the coin, and it&#039;s apparent metal, in addition to the date and a description of devices and legends.&nbsp; For example, in the &#039;80s and &#039;90s Great Britain&#039;s coins included half-sovereigns, sovereigns, 2 pound, and 5 pound coins, all with the St. George and the Dragon reverse.&nbsp; (British coins always have the sovereign&#039;s bust on the obverse.)</p><p><br /></p><p>However, with the 1966 date the only coin with a QEII obverse and a St.George reverse that I see in the newly published 2005 edition of the Krause catalog is a gold sovereign (KM#908) with a listed value of $90 in uncirculated condition.&nbsp; Since the bullion value of a .2354 oz. AGW coin is that much or more at current gold prices, it just goes to show you how quickly print catalogs can get out of date on values. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
