Obverse

On the obverse of each coin is the image of Queen Elizabeth II. In this image, the Queen is shown in right-profile relief. This is the fifth design used of Queen Elizabeth II for use on British-issued coins. This image is very similar to the design created by Jody Clark for use on Royal Canadian Mint coinage; however, this design is exclusive to Pobjoy Mint.

Reverse

The reverse image on each of these coins is that of the mythical Pegasus with outstretched wings. The Pegasus stands up on its hind legs. Engravings on this side of the coin include the face value, weight, metal content, and purity of the coin.

History

Greek mythology features a flying horse called the Pegasus. This mystical creature was born of the shedding of the blood of one of the three Gorgons. In this case, it was the snake-headed monster known as Medusa after she was slain by Perseus that resulted in the creation of Pegasus. After his victory, Perseus was gifted Pegasus by the gods.
