The Ashes Series

Create a stunning image of a medal for The Ashes Series, featuring a circular design with a diameter of 3 inches, crafted from polished gold with intricate detailing. The front showcases an embossed cricket bat and ball, surrounded by a laurel wreath, symbolizing victory. The medal hangs from a deep crimson ribbon, adorned with subtle white stripes, reflecting the traditional colors of the competing nations. On the back, engrave the year and "The Ashes Series Champion" in elegant, serif font. Use a rich color palette of gold, crimson, and white, with soft shadows to enhance the depth. Illuminate the medal with a warm spotlight against a dark, blurred background, creating a dramatic contrast. Capture the image from a slightly elevated angle, ensuring the medal is the focal point while showcasing the ribbon’s texture and the embossed details clearly.
