Pegasus - 2018 Virenium Coin

Following the success of the previous releases of Pegasus coins, Pobjoy Mint is delighted to announce the release of a new version of this popular coin this time produced in Virenium, a special alloy developed and produced exclusively by Pobjoy Mint. The design shows Pegasus, the mythical horse, rearing up with his wings spread.  This beautiful coin, which is a pale gold colour, is ideal for collectors being the same size as a £2 coin.

The obverse features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed exclusively by Pobjoy Mint.

Pegasus is one of the best-known creatures in Greek mythology. This winged horse is usually depicted as white in colour and was always considered a good-hearted and gentle animal. Throughout his life, Pegasus remained a mysterious creature that symbolised divine inspiration or the journey to heaven. As a reward for his service and loyalty, Zeus honoured him with a special immortality, turning him into a constellation on the last day of his life.
