2018 British Virgin Islands 1 Dollar 1-oz Silver Pegasus NGC Reverse Gem Proof Early Releases

Get Your Pegasus Silver Reverse Proof Before Our Supply Flies Away

When one thinks of mythical deities, images of gods, goddesses and angels come to mind first. But perhaps the most beautiful mythological being of them all is Pegasus – the immortal winged stallion who carried the thunderbolts of Zeus. Almost always depicted as pure white, Pegasus has appeared on coinage since ancient times, but never has this swift flying horse looked as magnificent as it does on this coin struck by the artisans of Great Britain’s world-renowned Pobjoy Mint.

The beauty of Pegasus on this coin is truly divine! Serving as the fifth coin in Pobjoy’s reverse proof series, this fabulous One-Ounce Silver Pegasus Reverse Proof was issued in 2018 on behalf of the British Virgin Islands. It differs from a regular proof coin in that the fields are frosted and the raised portions of the coin are mirror-like. It’s magnificent! Plus, this coin has been certified, graded and encapsulated by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in Gem Proof condition and designated as an Early Releases (ER) coin!

The stories of Pegasus and his adventures in Olympus and on earth are legendary. He was the child of the sea-god Poseidon and the once-beautiful Medusa. This union angered the goddess Athena so much that she cursed Medusa to eternal ugliness. Pegasus did not enter the world, however, until the warrior Perseus cut off Medusa’s head and Pegasus sprang forth from her neck. Pegasus later agreed to be ridden by the warrior Bellerophon in order to defeat the monster Chimera. Bellerophon later fell from Pegasus when he attempted to ride to Mount Olympus. After many other exploits, Zeus transformed Pegasus into the constellation that can be seen today in the northern sky.

Pegasus’ wing-aided swiftness and ability to fly has captured the imaginations of equestrians for centuries. It’s no surprise then that the Pobjoy Mint, Europe's largest, oldest and most prestigious private mint, is behind this stunning reverse proof.

• INCREDIBLE DETAIL AND DESIGN – The dynamic image of the majestic Pegasus rearing up in its hind legs is simply stunning. The winged mythical creature looks as if it’s going to fly right off the coin.
