	Leonard Charles Wyon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Leonard Charles Wyon, eldest son of William Wyon, was born in one of the houses in the Royal Mint in 1826.
		Wyon, in his desire to give a bold relief to the designs on the new bronze pieces, engraved the original dies so deeply that they were liable to fracture after relatively few pieces had been struck from them.
		Wyon engraved the dies for the gold and silver coinage struck for the Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887.

		In his prolific output between 1816 and 1851 there is much to admire in William Wyon’s work: the Three Graces pattern crown of 1817, the seated Britannia of the 1820s, the Lion sixpences and shillings of George IV, and a regal Una and the Lion on the famous five pound piece of 1839.
		Wyon was clearly inspired by his admiration of the neo-classical style of his mentor Flaxman to create an uncluttered and well balanced portrait.

		Most of the obverses were engraved by William Wyon, whose initials often appear in the design.
		Following a precedent set by Benedetto Pistrucci on his 1818 crown for George III, where his name was added beneath the obverse bust and the exergual line on the reverse (in letters so small they resemble a line of dots), designers placed their initials on the coins, usually under the obverse bust.

		Thomas Wyon (i) (1767–1830) was Chief Engraver of His Majesty’s Seals; his elder son, Thomas Wyon (ii) (1792–1817), was Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint.
		The latter’s cousin and the most important artist of the family, William Wyon (1795–1851), expected to succeed him at the Mint in 1817, but instead the position went to Benedetto Pistrucci.
		However, from 1822, when Pistrucci refused to use Francis Chantrey’s bust of George IV as a basis for the coinage, Wyon, as Second Engraver, assumed responsibility for the coinage and became de facto Chief Engraver.
