Bellerophon & Pegasus – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Mythology and Legends

Description:
Drawn from the heroic legends of ancient Greece, the Bellerophon & Pegasus copper round depicts one of mythology’s most dramatic battles — the defeat of the fearsome Chimera. The story symbolizes courage, ingenuity, and the triumph of heroic determination over monstrous chaos.

The obverse portrays Bellerophon riding the legendary winged horse Pegasus, soaring into battle as he drives his spear toward the terrifying Chimera, the fire-breathing beast with the body of a lion, the head of a goat, and the tail of a serpent. The dynamic composition captures the mythic moment when the hero descends from the skies to defeat the monster that terrorized the land of Lycia.

The reverse features the Intaglio Mint hallmark, framed within a classic circular arrangement that includes the mint’s founding year, web address, and the round’s weight and purity.

Struck in one AVDP ounce of .999 fine copper and measuring 39mm in diameter, this round blends classical mythology with fine sculptural detail, making it a compelling addition for collectors who appreciate ancient legends, heroic imagery, and timeless storytelling.
