Pistrucci refused to copy another artist's work, George cracked the shits, replaced but didn't sack him. Wyon copied the Chantry Bust and Merlen, hired as Pistrucci's assistant, designed the reverse. This coin is awe inspiring in the hand, my feeble photography skills cannot display the beauty of this coin. |
