This world-first ten-sided coin for the young prince’s 10th birthday is the first gold one-eighth sovereign produced to celebrate a milestone in Prince George’s life. The design of St George is accompanied by the legend GEORGIUS VICTOR ERIT (“George will be the victor”) and this is both a description of the scene and also a wish for Prince George’s future.
