The "Pegasus" coin is the third issue from the "Mythical Creatures" series. It was struck in pure silver. The mintage is only 499 pieces. The coin comes in an elegant box with a certificate of authenticity.  Pegasus is a winged horse in Greek mythology born from the blood of Medusa, which gushed out when Perseus cut off her head. Pegasus lived near the spring of Pirene on the Acrocorinth. It was found there by Bellerophont, who, using a golden rod received from Athena, managed to tame the steed. With its help, the hero defeated the Chimera, planning to rise on its back to the peak of Mount Olympus. On his way to the top, however, Bellerophont was thrown off the back of the winged steed by Zeus. Only Pegasus reached the summit. From that moment on he served Zeus, who after his death transferred him to the sky creating the constellation of Pegasus.
