Description
Saint George Slaying the Dragon
Though the Bank of Western Canada did not survive long, the iconic imageof Saint George slaying the dragon that appears on this note has roots that go back thousands of years. At the time of the note's issuance, Saint George had been present on popular British gold sovereigns since 1817. The sovereign design, by famed medalist Benedetto Pistrucci, featured a caped Saint George on a rearing horse slaying a dragon at his feet and became so iconic that it may have influenced the America Bank Note Company artist who designed the vignette on this note.
This coin is the second issue of the Historic Canadian Banknotes collection.
The first coin of the series, released in July 2013, depicts the Canadian Bank of Commerce Bank Note Design.
The second coin of the series, released in November 2013, depicts Saint George Slaying Dragon.
The third coin of the series, released in July 2014, depicts the Lion on the Mountain.
The fourth and the last coin of the series, released in February 2015, depicts the Canadian Banknote Vignette.
