2022 Elizabeth II Silver 5 oz NGC PR70UC St. George Dragon FDI Mercanti Sig
This 2022 Elizabeth II $25 Silver Proof Coin, struck in an impressive 5 troy ounces of .999 fine silver, showcases the legendary St. George and the Dragon design as part of the esteemed Modern Masters Series. Graded a perfect NGC PR70 Ultra Cameo (UC) and designated First Day of Issue (FDOI), this masterpiece is also hand-signed by John M. Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and a modern numismatic icon.
The reverse features a striking reinterpretation of the classic St. George slaying the dragon—a design steeped in medieval lore and numismatic tradition. Mercanti’s rendition brings a modern dynamism to this timeless myth, with powerful engraving detail, fluid motion, and contrasting frost and mirror surfaces that accentuate every element in breathtaking clarity.
The obverse bears the elegant portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, honoring the late monarch’s legacy and continuity in the Commonwealth series. The $25 denomination, weight, metal content, and issuing nation (typically the Cook Islands or another Commonwealth issuer in this series) are noted around the rim.
This limited mintage proof is not only stunning in scale but also in rarity and pedigree. The Ultra Cameo designation certifies its deeply mirrored fields and frosted devices, while the PR70 grade ensures this coin is flawless under 5x magnification. The First Day of Issue label and Mercanti’s hand signature add another layer of collectibility and prestige, making this piece highly desirable among modern proof collectors and fans of master engravers.
Collector’s Value:
With its perfect PR70 grade, oversized 5 oz silver format, and the rare combination of First Day of Issue status and Mercanti’s hand signature, this coin stands as a crown jewel in the Modern Masters Series. Its detailed artistry and impeccable condition make it a showpiece for elite collectors of modern silver proofs and fans of heroic, mythological coinage.
