THE GREAT ENGRAVERS COLLECTION
More than 1,100 Years in the Making
Drawing on our unrivalled legacy as the original maker of British coins, The Great Engravers Collection pays homage to career masterpieces belonging to some of our historic engravers.
Breathing new life into some of the world’s most sought-after coin designs using modern striking techniques, The Great Engravers Collection provides collectors with the chance to own these beautiful designs centuries after the original coins were struck. Available in a range of gold and silver Proof editions, these coins are fitting tributes to some of the most talented engravers to have worked on British coins.
BENEDETTO PISTRUCCI
The Waterloo Medal
Taking 30 years to perfect, Benedetto Pistrucci’s designs for the Waterloo Medal represent his sublime engraving talent. Discover the two coins we have struck in tribute to Pistrucci’s medallic masterpiece.
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.
