Pegasus is one of the best-known creatures in Greek mythology. The winged horse is often said to have sprang from the blood of Medusa as she was beheaded by the hero Perseus and then tamed by Bellerophon’s, ready to be rode into battle against the Khimaira.
Horses have often featured on British Virgin Island coins over the years and these creatures have been part of the Mint Master’s life as a passionate horse rider, therefore making Pegasus an obvious choice to feature on our last coin.
Approved by Buckingham Palace this coin carries an effigy of His Majesty King Charles III produced exclusively by Pobjoy Mint.
