Pegasus Mythical Creatures 1 Oz Proof - 2022 Niue

Pegasus Mythical Creatures 1 Oz Proof - 2022 

The eleventh silver coin of the Czech Mint from the Mythical Creatures series is dedicated to Pegasus.

According to ancient Greek legends, the brave recusant Perseus clashed with a number of mythical creatures. One of them was Medusa, an evil Gorgon with snakes for hair who turned everyone who laid eyes on her to stone. 

After Perseus cut off her head, a son named Pegasus sprang from her body. It's a wonder the monstrous woman gave birth to a beautiful offspring in the form of a winged horse. What's more, Pegasus was also kind and noble unlike his mother. All his life he helped sick children, served the Muses, accompanied famous heroes and protected all living. His wings allowed him to fly as fast as the wind and reach the gods, who sat atop Olympus. 

Therefore, a winged white man became the personification of freedom and liberty.
