DESCRIPTION
Pegasus, emblematic of heroic deeds and artistic inspiration, is linked to the Muses and famed for his hoofbeats that opened sacred springs, including Heliconian Spring.
Born from Medusa's blood when Perseus defeated her, this legendary winged horse is captured in dynamic flight on a 1-ounce silver coin. His expansive wings, intricately detailed, highlight his power and grace. The muscular form and elegance of movements reflect his divine origin, grace, and boundless abilities. Enhanced with high relief and a gilded chest piece, the coin celebrates Pegasus's mythic elegance and divine origins with exceptional artistry.
