Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the Silver 2 oz Mythical Creature Pegasus coin?

It is a 2 troy oz .999 fine silver sovereign coin produced by the Pobjoy Mint. The reverse shows Pegasus rearing up with wings spread and carries a frosted finish, while the obverse features Pobjoy Mint's exclusive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin holds a $2 denomination backed by the British Virgin Islands government.

What are the weight, purity, and dimensions of this coin?

The coin weighs 2 troy ounces and is struck in .999 fine silver. It measures 38.6 mm in diameter and 6 mm in thickness — roughly double the profile of a standard 1 oz coin — giving it a substantial, premium feel in hand.

How rare is this coin, and is it part of a series?

Global mintage is strictly capped at 5,000 coins total, making it one of the lower-mintage offerings in the silver bullion space. It belongs to the Pobjoy Mint Pegasus series, an ongoing line of mythological-themed coins that has built a dedicated following among collectors.

How do I know the coin is authentic, and how does it arrive?

The coin bears the PM mint mark of the Pobjoy Mint, a centuries-old private mint with a strong reputation for quality. It ships in protective packaging designed to preserve the coin's frosted finish and overall condition during transit and storage.

Is this coin eligible to be held in a Precious Metals IRA?

IRS rules for self-directed Precious Metals IRAs require silver coins to meet a minimum fineness of .999. This coin satisfies that purity standard. Whether a specific custodian will accept it depends on that custodian's individual policies; eligibility is a factual matter determined by IRS fineness thresholds and custodian requirements.

What does the mint mark 'PM' on this coin signify?

'PM' stands for Pobjoy Mint, the issuing authority for this coin. The mint mark appears on the coin as a assurance of origin and authenticity, confirming it was produced under Pobjoy Mint's quality standards rather than by a government mint.
