Silver Medallion of Benedetto Pistrucci
In 1993, the British Royal Mint produced a silver proof medallion honouring Benedetto Pistrucci, the Italian master engraver who was employed by the mint in the early 19th century, and who produced the original design of Saint George slaying a dragon. This design has featured on most British gold sovereigns, and other coins, since 1817.
