GIBRALTER: (1952- PRESENT DAY) QUEEN ELIZABETH II 2017 GOLD PROOF 5-COIN GIBRALTER SOVEREIGN SET. 200 years ago, Benedetto Pistrucci created the now-iconic "St. George and the Dragon". That same artistic talent has continued to run in the Pistrucci family for generations. Now, for the Sovereign That same artistic talent has continued to run in the Pistrucci family for generations. Now, for the Sovereign’s 200th anniversary, Benedetto's great-great-great-grandniece Angela Benita Pistrucci has designed a new interpretation of her ancestor’s original classic. Angela’s design presents the ancient story in a more contemporary style, while still capturing the essence of the 200-year-old original. The Set comes sealed in individual perspex case so is unhandled and in perfect condition.
