Description of St George reverse by
Captain J J Cullimore-Allen OBE, author of
​“Sovereigns of the British Empire”

“The saintly knight is mounted on horseback, his left hand holding the bridle rein. He wears a crested helmet with a plume of hair floating behind. A chlamys flows freely behind him, and is fastened in front by a fibula. On his right shoulder is a baltens for suspending the gladius. His feet and lower legs are protected by armour, except the toes, which are unprotected. The horse appears to half advance, half shrink from the dragon at its feet. St George has broken his lance in wounding the winged monster, and a portion of the lance remains in the animal’s body.”
