New great engravers Waterloo medal

[Spanishsilver]

The Great Engravers Collection continues by honouring the designs for one of Benedetto Pistrucci's finest works, the Waterloo Medal. Launching in 2024, the first coin in the collection celebrates the obverse of Pistrucci's spectacular design, whilst a second coin, commemorating the reverse design, will follow in 2025.

What is the difference between RM 2015 silver medal (1815 pieces) and this new release? Which one would hold value in future?

I had the exact same thought here:

I just found out that further to the 2015 medal RM issued one version in 1972 and another one in 1990… so this will be their fourth attempt to milk the public with the same design going for decades now.
 

I guess they have to provide a glue kit with their second coin release next year so we can glue both coins and have one complete milky scratched medal 🤪

Probably the gold version will be the only real prize here as the original intent was - I believe - to strike them in gold for the top brass and the four Allied leaders.

But with gold prices, and third being a 2-coin set, how many will really be able to afford the gold?!
