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.
