SMS Sankt Georg was an armored cruiser of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. The Sankt Georg was selected as main motif of an Austrian coin: the S.M.S. Sankt Georg commemorative coin, minted in 14 September 2005. The obverse shows the armored cruiser sailing into New York Harbor on 17 May 1907; passing right in front of the Statue of Liberty. This was to be the last visit of an Austrian naval vessel in the U.S.A. In 1920 the ship was ceded to Britain and was eventually scrapped.
