SMS Sankt Georg was an armored cruiser of the Austro-Hungarian Navy.
The Sankt Georg was selected as main motif of a very recent 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.
