Queen Elizabeth II portrait.
Now on to my favorite side. The reverse
It features the beautiful winged Pegasus with the goddess Athena. Athena is holding a spear in one hand and holding onto the reigns of the golden bridle to tame Pegasus in the other. They are on a frosted background. There is a "P" privy mark under Pegasus tail to indicate it's a reverse proof coin. The weight, purity and value is also on this side.
Thanks for checking out the coin and I hope you like it as much as I do. Have a great weekend!!
that is one awesome coin Mrs. V would love to add it to my collection

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
It looks like Pegasus is proof with the frosted background. What amazes me is that Athena is frosted with Pegasus as background. I've never seen a reverse proof with a contrast like this.
That's is very interesting. I am very new at this so I am not familiar with what the norm is. I really appreciate your comment!
Thanks to you, for publishing. Reading was interesting.
Happy weekend.
