Pegasus, the legendary winged horse from Greek mythology, soars for one last time on this, the final release from the world-renowned British Pobjoy Mint. The same classic design of the majestic Pegasus rearing up in its hind legs that has been used by Pobjoy since it struck its first Pegasus coin in 2017 is a glorious send-off for Pobjoy, which announced earlier in 2023 that it would be closing its doors for good at the end the year after 58 years of striking some of the coin world’s most beautiful and popular coins.
Special Privy Mark Dedicated To Mint Master Taya Pobjoy
Since its establishment in 1965, the private mint in Kingswood, Surrey, England has produced coins for more than 40 nations and territories and won more than a dozen Coin of the Year awards. Managing Director Taya Pobjoy announced her official retirement and the mint’s closure on October 12, 2023. Taya succeeded her father, mint founder Derek Pobjoy, in 1998. Over the course of the following quarter century, she became one of only a few active Mint Directors who had served as long as she had. As a special nod to the significance of this coin, a special privy mark was created to honor Taya’s work and legacy. The mark—which consists of a “T” for Taya, with a horse head and horseshoe, referencing the Mint Master’s love for horses—will be featured on this coin for the first and last time.
Nearly Flawless Proof Coins From Among The First Released
Struck in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this 2023-dated Pegasus legal-tender $10 coin was released on Behalf of the British Virgin Islands, a British Overseas Territory (BOT) in the Caribbean Sea. Plus, each coin available here comes graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in near-perfect Proof-69 (PF69) condition, a distinction that means these almost-flawless coins showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections—well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. In addition, NGC has certified that these proofs are First Releases (FR) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of issue.
COIN HIGHLIGHTS:
This 2023 British Virgin Islands $10 One-Ounce Silver Pegasus Proof is the final release from the world-renowned British Pobjoy Mint. With just 1,450 of these last-ever coins available for worldwide release
