Homepage / Bullion Coins: Russian Coins / Saint George the Victorious - Russian Gold
Last Updated on 05/24/2025
On January 2nd, 2006, the Bank of Russia authorized the production of the first Russian gold coins for investors.
The 7.78-gram Saint George the Victorious gold bullion coin was the first coin size issued; it is about the size of a British Sovereign or a United States Nickel.
In 2021, Russia added three more bullion coin sizes to the series which include the 3.11 gram, 15.55 gram, and 31.10 gram.
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.
Obverse
Released in 2006, the 7.78-gram Saint George the Victorious Gold bullion coin was the first coin released in the series (right).
From 2006-2015, the obverse side featured the emblem of the Bank of Russia (БАНК РОССИИ); since 2018, the obverse has changed to the State Emblem of the Russian Federation (Coat of Arms of Russia).
The centerpiece on the obverse side of the 2024 Saint George the Victorious gold bullion coin features a relief image of the State Emblem of the Russian Federation (Coat of Arms of Russia), designed by E.V. Kramskaya.

Reverse
The reverse side of the gold bullion coin features Saint George the Victorious on horseback, slaying a dragon with a spear, designed by A.V. Baklanov, People's Artist of Russia.
