| 背面描述 | Adaptation of William Wyon's celebrated 'Three Graces' design, originally created for the 1817 pattern coinage, depicting three classically draped female figures representing England, Scotland, and Ireland standing in an intimate embrace at centre. The figure to the left holds a harp symbolising Ireland, the central figure rests upon a shield bearing the Union Flag, and the right-hand figure stands beside a thistle representing Scotland. Branches of foliage lie across the ground at their feet. The engraver's signature W. WYON appears to the lower left of the group. The Latin legend FOEDUS INVIOLABILE, meaning 'Inviolable League', is inscribed in two arcs within the field to either side of the figures. The design is framed by an inner border of raised beads and an outer reeded rim. |

| 附加信息 |
The Three Graces piece revives a design that George William de Saulles — no, more accurately William Wyon — produced for a pattern crown in 1817, itself never officially circulated but preserved in a handful of institutional collections. The Royal Mint has revisited the composition repeatedly for modern bullion and proof issues, leaning on its reputation as one of the finest neoclassical designs ever produced at Tower Hill.
At just over a kilogram of fine silver, this is among the heaviest denominated coins the Mint has issued under the current reign. The £500 face value carries no practical monetary function — it exists entirely as a collectible instrument, struck to order with mintages typically held below a few hundred pieces.
