I received a pre-sale item I ordered a few weeks back.
2019 Great Britain £2 1 oz Silver Valiant Coin BU
by the Royal Mint
The coin features a design by Etienne Millner, a refreshed 2019 version of the original design of Saint George and the Dragon.
The coin celebrates a legend representing honor, courage, and victory, with an impressive design of Saint George and the dragon.
The famous legend of Saint George and the Dragon represents victory and honor. There are many variations of the legend, but all mention the hero Saint George traveling, where he comes across a town distressed by a dragon. The dragon has taken a princess as his prisoner. Saint George decided to help the town by slaying the beast. Saint George brandished his sword at the dragon, which is the battle depicted on this 1 oz Silver Valiant coin from The Royal Mint.
Shown side by side below is a 1889 Great Britain Silver Crown Victoria and the 2019 Great Britain Valiant coin.
On the reverse of the 130-years-old Silver Crown Victoria, is the iconic Saint George and the Dragon designed by the Royal Mint's chief medallist, Benedetto Pistrucci. The design is still being used today.
I love this Victoria Jubilee head silver crown and it is my favorite of old world coin.

I just read about the pirate Jack Sparrow and King George and the quest for the Fountain of Youth.
Throughout his reign as King of Great Britain and Ireland, George Augustus resided in St. James's Palace in London, England.
Several years after the War Against Piracy, King George and his ministers would learn that King Ferdinand of Spain had located the Fountain of Youth.
In an attempt to solve the issue of finding the Fountain, the King and the Royal Navy tried to enlist help from the notorious pirate Jack Sparrow, who had knowledge of the route to the Fountain, after having heard rumors that Jack was recruiting a crew in London. After Sparrow's escape, King George sent Hector Barbossa, a reformed pirate, and privateer, to find the Fountain before the Spanish did.
The British ultimately failed their mission to secure the Fountain in the King's name, with almost all of Barbossa's crew were killed and Barbossa himself returned to piracy.
