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 third consecutive commemoration of one of Benedetto Pistrucci’s designs, and a second visit to the Waterloo Medal. This time, its the reverse design of the historic, un-produced award that gets the modern treatment.
For his design, Pistrucci took inspiration from the gigantomachy, an event from Greek mythology where the giants waged war against the Olympian gods. Pistrucci’s design depicts 19 giants, representing the 19-year conflict, tumbling over one another as they are struck by Zeus’ thunder.
Anybody who owns either of the previous Royal Mint Pistrucci masterpieces knows that they simply must have this… Its beautiful.
