200th Anniversary of the First Modern SovereignThe design on the 2017 proof sovereign celebrates the 200th anniversary of the first modern sovereign. The Royal Mint have remastered the original, 1817 reverse design by Benedetto Pistrucci. Honi Soit Qui Mal Y PenseThe garter inscription on the St. George and the Dragon reverse reads "Honi soit qui mal y pense", which is French for "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it". This is the motto of the Order of the Garter, the highest order of chivalry in the UK. Find out more on our Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense page. ObverseThe fifth coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, by the artist, Jody Clark, is featured on the obverse of the coin. It is the first time since 1887 that the date has been featured on the obverse of the sovereign. ReverseA remastered St George and the Dragon design features on the reverse of the coins. The Royal Mint crafted the tools for the design from the 1817 Benedetto Pistrucci original. Specifications
