The Great Engravers series, 
not our usual Sovereigns, too nice to miss!


Drawing on the unrivalled legacy of the Royal Mint coinage, The Great Engravers series pays homage to the historic engravers career masterpieces. Modern striking techniques have been used to breathe new life into the designs. More than 200 years after the original coins were struck, collectors have the chance to own the world’s most sought-after coin designs. Available in a range of limited-edition gold and silver Proofs, the coins are a fitting tribute to the most talented engravers to ever work on British coinage.

William Wyon

Chief Engraver from 1828 until his death in 1851, many collectors consider William Wyon RA to be one of the finest artists to have ever worked on British coinage. His time coincided with that of another highly acclaimed artist – Benedetto Pistrucci. This was a golden age for British numismatics, fuelled by the intense rivalry of two very different characters.
