The Ashes Series

Create a stunning image of a medal specifically designed for The Ashes Series, featuring a circular shape with a diameter of 3 inches, crafted from polished silver with intricate gold accents. The medal is suspended from a deep maroon silk ribbon, adorned with subtle gold stitching, elegantly draping to showcase its grandeur. On the front, engrave a detailed depiction of a cricket bat and ball intertwined with the iconic Ashes urn, surrounded by laurel leaves, symbolizing victory. The reverse side should feature the year and the phrase "The Ashes Champion" embossed in bold letters. Use a rich color palette of deep reds, golds, and silvers. Illuminate the medal with soft, dramatic lighting that casts gentle shadows, set against a blurred cricket field background at dusk, emphasizing the medal's significance. Capture the image from a slight angle to highlight the depth and texture, ensuring a captivating and prestigious presentation.
