TCC Introduces the 2018 £5 Three Graces Wedgwood Jasperware Coin

Embark on a journey through time with the 2018 £5 Three Graces Wedgwood Jasperware Coin, crafted to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the iconic Wedgwood brand. This coin, a fusion of numismatic and ceramic artistry, is a tribute to the legacy of Josiah Wedgwood, the famed industrialist and philanthropist who revolutionised the world of ceramics in the 18th century.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Historical Significance

The coin’s reverse features the revered “Three Graces” design, inspired by classical mythology and the neoclassical marble masterpiece by Antonio Canova. These three mythological figures – embodiments of youth, mirth, and elegance – are beautifully rendered against a serene pastel blue Jasperware base, surrounded by geometric shapes that echo Greek neoclassical art.

Josiah Wedgwood’s groundbreaking invention of Jasperware in the 1770s, with its distinct matte blue base and classic white bas-relief, is celebrated through this coin. The mintage of only 3,000 pieces mirrors the number of trials undertaken by Josiah to perfect this innovative ceramic technique, making each coin a precious memento of his tireless pursuit of perfection.
