Continue the journey through legend and precision with this 2018 Pegasus Reverse Proof, the second release in the British Virgin Islands Pegasus bullion series.

🧾 Key Specifications:

• Year of Issue: 2018
• Issuing Territory: British Virgin Islands
• Metal Content: 1 Troy oz .999 Fine Silver

• Obverse: Features the exclusive Pobjoy Mint effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, approved by Buckingham Palace, with inscriptions: BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS · QUEEN ELIZABETH II · 2018

📜 Historical Significance:

• Second issue in the Pegasus bullion series, following the inaugural 2017 release
• Inspired by Greek mythology — Pegasus was born from Medusa’s blood and later immortalized by Zeus as a constellation
• Struck multiple times to achieve its frosted background and polished relief, showcasing Pobjoy’s technical mastery
• Part of a series that continued through 2023, culminating in the Farewell Pegasus tribute

✨ Condition & Bonus:

• Reverse proof finish with frosted fields and gleaming devices
• Minor flaws include: a small pinhole in the frosted field on the reverse and a rim ding on the obverse — both subtle and unobtrusive
• Overall, the coin presents a near-perfect strike, clean surfaces, and strong visual appeal
• Preserved in original heat-sealed mint packaging
• Includes a free protective capsule for safe storage and display

🎯 Collector’s Appeal:

• Low mintage, mythological theme, and reverse proof artistry make this coin a standout
• Ideal for collectors of modern world bullion, Greek legends, or Pobjoy Mint exclusives
• Still a strong candidate for grading — many examples achieve PF69 or PF70 despite minor rim or field imperfections

Let me know if you’d like to format this for eBay, bundle it with the 2017 or 2019 Pegasus releases, or highlight the packaging and finish in your listing photos. This coin’s blend of myth, metal, and minting deserves a heroic spotlight.
