2022 Intaglio Mint 1-oz Silver Bellerophon, Pegasus & Chimera Round BU

Heroes, Monsters And Flying Horses—This Silver Round Has It All!

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 a quest to defeat the Chimera, a monstrous fire-breathing creature that looked like a lion with the head of a goat protruding from its back, and a tail ending with a snake's head. 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.

Based On Famous Greek Mythology

All three—hero, flying horse and monster—appear together on this wonderful piece that will have fans of Greek mythology wishing they could climb on the back of a winged stallion and search out monsters across the world! This non-legal tender round was struck by the Intaglio Mint in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and expertly captures the moment when Bellerophon runs the Chimera through with a long, deadly spear while astride Pegasus. Though the exploits of these three characters were written about centuries ago in ancient times, their lessons are symbolism is still felt today:

• BELLEROPHON has become a symbol of how arrogance and greed can be one's downfall. Although he had accomplished great deeds and had the reputation of being a hero, he wasn't content and angered the gods by reaching beyond his means.
• PEGASUS represents speed, strength, and artistic inspiration. Encompassing beauty and a sense of majesty, he is a guide for humas to imagine more than the physical limitations of the world and enrich one's spirit so that it can soar without limit.
• CHIMERA are present in many ancient cultures as a name used to describe any creature composed of many different animals. As such, the chimera represents the most dangerous beast that the human imagination can conjure, and in the process becoming a monstrous beast—or situation—that is difficult to overcome.
