For gold sovereigns, the initial reverse side was a crown and shield design with heraldic wreath augmentation. This design was followed by a portrayal of the dragon being killed by St. George. On British gold sovereigns, the same design is still in use. However, during reigns of other rulers, other reverse designs have also been used.
