CITY VIEWS
Rome
Our series dedicated to City Views continues its journey around the world with Rome. The coin’s reverse design is based on Aspect général de Rome by Jacques Alphonse Testard, which has been skilfully recreated in miniature. Showing the city as seen from atop the Janiculum Hill in the nineteenth century, it beautifully captures the panoramic sweep of one of the world’s most iconic skylines.

Pistrucci Sovereigns
Benedetto Pistrucci was born in Rome on 29 May 1784. While working in Italy, he gained a reputation as an outstandingly talented gem engraver. His fame spread far and wide and he was invited to come to England by the Prince Regent, the son of George III.
The traditional Benedetto Pistrucci design has featured on The Sovereign since 1817 and the iconic George and the Dragon scene has become synonymous with one of the finest coins in the world.
