Biographical or Historical Sketch
Benedetto Pistrucci was an Italian-born sculptor, medalist, and gem-engraver. He moved to England and began working at the Royal Mint, where he became Chief Medalist. Among his many designs were coronation medals for George IV and Victoria, and the Waterloo medal, commissioned in 1819 but never released. He also created private medals, gems, cameos, and several portrait busts. Two of his daughters became cameo engravers.
