Collector Research Notes

Classic St. George and the Dragon design showing the armoured Saint George on horseback slaying a dragon, with the 'C' mint mark for Ottawa below the horse.

What Collectors Usually Check

  • This issue is tagged as low mintage in the local catalog, so collector demand often depends on condition, eye appeal, and how often examples surface for sale.
  • The estimated collector range sits meaningfully above melt value, which usually means design, scarcity, or set demand is doing more work than metal content alone.
  • Use the listed edge, diameter, finish, and legends to verify the exact issue before comparing prices or catalog entries.
