Capturing History in Coinage
The coins featured in our Great Engravers Collection have been beautifully reimagined to show how the coinage would have appeared during the time it was originally struck.
BENEDETTO PISTRUCCI
The Waterloo Medal – Allied Leaders
Featuring a reverse that depicts the obverse design created by Benedetto Pistrucci for the Waterloo Medal, the latest coin in The Great Engravers Collection honours a spectacular work of numismatic art.
BENEDETTO PISTRUCCI
St George and the Dragon
Displaying all the power and poise of neoclassicism, Benedetto Pistrucci’s St George and the dragon design is a remarkable work, considered by many to be his best design. We pay tribute to the artist’s abrasive genius with a modern interpretation of a numismatic masterpiece.
THOMAS SIMON
The Petition Crown
Renowned for its two-line edge inscription, Thomas Simon’s Petition Crown is a remarkable feat of engraving skill that first appeared more than 350 years ago. We pay tribute to Simon with a two-coin set that honours his masterpiece.
WILLIAM WYON
The Gothic Crown
The Great Engravers Collection continues with two coins paying homage to the Gothic Crown, the culmination of a life’s work.
WILLIAM WYON
The Three Graces
Wyon produced his early career masterpiece in 1817, funding the endeavour himself. The Three Graces proved to be the first of many beautiful designs throughout his time at The Royal Mint.
WILLIAM WYON
Una and the Lion
Una and the Lion, the first of William Wyon’s works remastered as part of The Great Engravers Collection, is arguably the most beautiful coin in the world.
