Regular price

Perhaps the highest quality silver coin presentation that The Royal Mint issues, the Great Engravers Collection combines the best of historical numismatics with the best of modern minting technology. And that continues here with a second consecutive commemoration of one of Benedetto Pistrucci’s designs, that of the Waterloo Medal.
Initially commissioned to be awarded to the victorious general in the Battle of Waterloo, as well as the leaders of Britain’ allies during the battle, the medal was never officially struck, nor given out. After 30 years of work by Pistrucci, many of the intended recipients had died, and so this glorious work of art remained only in the realm of tooling and a handful of prototypes… Until now!
Masterfully recreated, Pistrucci's Waterloo Medal looks amazing minted to modern standards. Featuring the four rulers of the triumphant Nations at the Battle of Waterloo, surrounded by a mythological allegory evoking peace, this is a beautiful coin, and the latest release in a sold out series.
Anybody who owns the previous Royal Mint Pistrucci masterpiece knows that they simply must have this… and if you missed that one, you should grab this new one straight away!
