The Rugby Championship

Create a stunning image of a Rugby Championship medal, featuring a circular design with a diameter of 3 inches, crafted from polished silver with a brushed finish. The medal should have a raised rim and intricate embossing of a rugby ball at the center, surrounded by stylized laurel leaves symbolizing victory. The ribbon is a deep green, 1.5 inches wide, with gold accents and a subtle texture, elegantly draping from the medal. Engraved on the back, include the words "The Rugby Championship" along with the year and a small rugby pitch motif. The color scheme should incorporate shades of gold, silver, and green, reflecting the sport's heritage. Set the medal against a dark, velvety background with soft, dramatic lighting that highlights its reflective surfaces and intricate details. The perspective should be slightly angled to showcase the depth and craftsmanship, inviting viewers to appreciate the artistry of this prestigious award.
