| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse bears Benedetto Pistrucci's celebrated and monumental Waterloo Medal design, here reproduced in its full form at extraordinary scale. At the centre, the Duke of Wellington and Prussian Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher are depicted as mounted commanders on horseback, symbolising the Allied victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. They are accompanied by Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, shown driving the chariot of Zeus, while the outer border is populated by powerful figures of Giants with serpentine legs, drawn from classical mythology. The engraver's name PISTRUCCI appears as the sole inscription, honouring the Italian gem-engraver who created this design originally for a medal that was never struck in his lifetime. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The original Waterloo Medal, designed by William Wyon and issued in 1816, was the first campaign medal awarded to every surviving British soldier regardless of rank — a radical departure from a system that had previously reserved such honors almost exclusively for officers. Over 39,000 were issued. This coin replicates the medal's physical heft at a scale that makes the original 36mm prototype feel almost incidental.
At just over five kilograms of .9999 gold, the Royal Mint's production logistics for a piece of this size are considerable — striking at 175mm requires a press tonnage well beyond standard proof operations.
