The 2026 Samoa Ascalon – The Sword of Saint George 1 oz Silver Antiqued UHR Shaped Coin pays tribute to one of Christianity’s most enduring legends. Struck in 1 oz of .999 fine silver, this shaped ultra‑high‑relief piece reimagines Ascalon—the blade that ended the dragon. As a result, the coin becomes a sacred, story‑rich collectible that blends faith, medieval artistry, and numismatic innovation. The mintage is limited to 500 pieces, each individually serialized.
The obverse begins at the pommel with a circular cross, symbolizing faith crowning the weapon. In addition, the handle shows Saint George in armor, standing over the fallen dragon whose wings form the guard. A white dove rises near the guard, representing the Holy Spirit. The blade transitions into Gothic architecture—pointed arches, tracery, and rose‑window motifs drawn from Europe’s great cathedrals. Because of this, the piece feels like a devotional artifact forged in silver.
The reverse opens with the coat of arms of Samoa, a fitting sovereign for a coin steeped in Christian symbolism. Furthermore, the handle reveals the rescued princess standing behind Saint George, her safety the purpose of his valor. The dragon’s tail coils around the guard, preserved in defeat. Gothic elements continue down the blade: cathedral columns, crosses, and lancet windows. Saint George’s rearing horse appears at the center, framed by the architectural details.
The sword measures 120 × 33 mm and is struck in shaped, antiqued ultra‑high relief. Every detail is intentional and sharply rendered. Each piece is individually numbered, encapsulated for protection, and presented in a custom display case with a matching Certificate of Authenticity. For this reason, the coin stands as both a legal‑tender issue of 2 Tala and a reverent tribute to Saint George’s triumph. Each piece, therefore, becomes a symbol of courage, faith, and the enduring power of legend.
