皇家造幣廠的“偉大雕刻師”系列繼續使用2025滑鐵盧獎牌硬幣

皇家造幣廠的“大雕刻師”系列中提供的2025個硬幣將向Benedetto Pistrucci創建滑鐵盧獎章所用的設計致敬。

The Royal Mint has announced the second installment in its “Great Engravers” coin collection, which will feature designs created by Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci for the Waterloo medal.

皇家薄荷宣布了其“大雕刻師”硬幣系列中的第二部分，該系列將採用由意大利雕刻師Benedetto Pistrucci為滑鐵盧獎章創建的設計。

The dies for the Waterloo medal were created over a span of 30 years and feature intricate allegorical designs depicting the battle. Though the medal itself was never struck, the dies were preserved and are now housed in the Royal Mint Museum.

滑鐵盧獎章的模具是在30年的時間內創建的，並採用了描繪戰鬥的複雜寓言設計。儘管獎牌本身從未被擊中，但模具被保存下來，現在被安置在皇家薄荷博物館中。

Using modern techniques, the Royal Mint has reproduced Pistrucci's designs on a range of coins to be issued in 2025. The obverse design was previously featured on coins in the Waterloo Medal, Allied Leaders collection, which were issued in 2024.

使用現代技術，皇家造幣廠已在2025年發行的一系列硬幣上重現了Pistrucci的設計。前面的設計以前是在滑鐵盧獎章的硬幣上出現的，盟軍領導者收藏集，該收藏是在2024年發行的。

The reverse design of the Waterloo medal, which is being recreated on the new coins, was inspired by the Gigantomachy, a battle in Greek mythology between the Olympian gods and the giants for control of the cosmos.

在新硬幣上重新創建的滑鐵盧勳章的相反設計的靈感來自奧林匹亞神與巨人之間的希臘神話之戰，以控制宇宙。

Pistrucci's design depicts 19 giants, representing the 19-year conflict, tumbling around the border as they are struck by the thunder of Zeus. Two equestrian figures, likely intended to be the Duke of Wellington and General Blücher, who commanded the British and Prussian armies at the Battle of Waterloo, are guided by a figure of Victory.

Pistrucci的設計描繪了代表19年沖突的19個巨人隊，在邊境周圍搖擺著宙斯的雷聲。在滑鐵盧戰役中指揮英國和普魯士軍隊的兩個馬術人物，可能是惠靈頓公爵和布呂徹將軍，受到了勝利的指導。

The coins will be the second issue in the collection to feature Pistrucci's designs, following a previous issue that included his classic St. George and the Dragon design.

該硬幣將是該系列中的第二個問題，它是Pistrucci的設計，此前的一期，包括他的經典St. George和Dragon Design。
