2005 Saint George Sovereign Reverse

Coins in the 2005 Sovereign family feature a one-year-only reverse design by Timothy Noad, which is a reinterpretation of the classic Saint George and the dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci. Noad's St George wields his sword at the fork-tongued beast from behind his shield. The date (2005) appears below the dragon's wing.
