"I was always amazed by Da Vinci's overwhelming achievement in creating "The Last Supper," Fritz Weiland says, "and I knew the painting was gradually disappearing from the wall. I decided it would be a good thing to create "The Last Supper" in metal, to make it permanent so it would never be lost to us. This interpretation of "The Last Supper" was first conceived 50 years ago by the brilliant artists and engraver Fritz Weiland, and protected and preserved throughout a career of achievement. He retired in 1975, at the age of 75, as master engraver of The Franklin Mint. This is the first issue of this work of art.

Weiland worked from a reproduction of "The Last Supper" that was unclear because of the original work done by Leonardo in the 15th century was faded. So he engraved what he thought Leonardo would have wanted. Weiland engraved the work directly into steel, in reverse, creating in one hand-operation the dies from which the finished ingot was struck. It was struck in relieve, then antiqued to bring out the beauty of the work. Each ingot is issued custom mounted in a hardwood frame.

The surface area of the ingot is more than 7.5 square inches. The reverse of the ingot bears Fritz Weiland's signature, etched into the ingot, to certify the authenticity of the work.

Issued in 1977.

This work of art, which has been called the most beautiful medal ever conceived, was a tribute to the Allied victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The medal was created by Benedetto Pistrucci, the famed Italian medallist. Pistrucci worked on the medal, which he regarded as his finest work, for 33 years, from 1817-1850. When he died, the work was technically unfinished , since it carried no inscription to specifically connect the medal with Waterloo.

The face of the medal carries profile busts of the 4 sovereigns whose alliance overthrew Napoleon: the Prince Regent (Later King George IV) of England, Francis II of Austria, Alexander I of Russia and Frederick William III of Prussia. The outer border provides an allegorical interpretation of the victory and of the peace which followed. The central motif on the reverse depicts 2 mounted horsemen galloping into action, urged on by the winger figure of victory. The border composition represents the mythological battle of the giants in their assault on heaven. 

When this work was complete, the dies were considered so valuable, no one had the courage to harden them and risk damaging the sculpture. As a result, the original medal was never struck. Those original dies measure 5 1/4 " in diameter and to this day they have still not been hardened. Many years ago, John Pinches (Medallists) Ltd-- the British affiliate of the Franklin Mint, was authorized to  make 2 sets of electrotypes in soft copper from these dies. From one of these electrotypes, Pinches struck the medal in a 2 1/2 " size. New dies were produced, and Pinches added the inscription "Waterloo June 18, 1815" on the edge of each medal. All specimens are serially numbered.
