Design of the
Saint George the Victorious 
Russian Silver Bullion Coin

Since ancient times, the depiction of Saint George the Victorious defeating the Dragon has served as a state symbol on princely seals, standards, coats of arms, and coinage in Russia and many other countries.

Saint George's image was an element of the state emblem of the Russian Empire before the USSR (1882-1917); since 1993, Russia has returned Saint George to the State Emblem of the Russian Federation (Coat of Arms of Russia).

The State Emblem of the Russian Federation displays a gold two-headed eagle with raised extended wings against a four-cornered red heraldic shield with rounded lower corners depicting Saint George in a blue cape, mounted upon a silver horse and slaying a black dragon with a silver spear.

Two crowns top the eagle's heads, with one large crown above them. The three crowns are linked by a ribbon. The eagle holds a scepter in its right claw and an orb in its left claw.
