History

William Wyon features first in The Great Engravers Collection from the Royal Mint. He served as Chief Engraver from 1828 until his death in 1851. He created other memorable works during his time at the Royal Mint, including the Young Head bust of Queen Victoria for British coins used from 1838 to 1860 and the image that inspired the Penny Black stamp.
