[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 808874, member: 4626"]Picked this up today with my tax refund money: [URL="http://www.banknotebank.com/coin_view_enlarge.aspx?id=926292"]United Kingdom, 1 pound, 1919[/URL] The size of this dragon in relation to St. George kind of makes St. George look like a bully for killing it, doesn't it? I mean, it's half the size of his horse. Hardly seems like a legendary feat. Love the details on this note though. Can clearly see the folds on St. George's cloak, the scales on the dragon, etc. Love the way the "One Pound" is superimposed over the portrait as if it were translucent. Great details on Parliament on the reverse too. I kind of prefer pro-dragon depictions of dragons on my notes as opposed to anti-dragon like this one (though to be fair what I know of the St. George and dragon legend, this dragon probably had it coming), but I still like this note and think it's a great addition to the collection.[/QUOTE]
