Description

In response to the amazing success of the 2017 Reverse Frosted Pegasus Bullion, Pobjoy Mint will produce a new 2018 design of the mythical horse. The design shows Pegasus, the mythical horse, rearing up with his wings spread.  Bullion coins are always a very attractive purchase due to their intrinsic metal value and bullion with a Reverse Frosted finish is an even more attractive purchase!

The obverse features the Pobjoy exclusive effigy design of HM Queen Elizabeth II with a reverse frosted effect. In order to maintain the exclusivity of this piece, no more than 50,000 of the 1oz Fine 999. Silver Reverse Frosted Bullion coins will be produced.

Nothing can make up for the Queen’s portrait, which I believe was the result of a primary school art competition.

"It has been my great privilege to meet and have live portrait sittings with the Queen at Buckingham Palace when in 1984 I was invited to design the third portrait to grace the coinage of her realm. I am therefore absolutely delighted to have been given the opportunity once again to create a contemporary further portrait in celebration of Her Majesty’s 90th year.  With this new effigy, I have sought to capture, for this truly special occasion, the Queen’s timeless grace, charm, and steadfastness."

I think we can agree that model and sculptor are past their prime. And Pobjoy have managed to make the bust version of the 90th birthday portrait look particularly awful.

Just looks very college art student standard to me 

The angles and proportions of it are just off

The Queen looks like she's in a strop and looking into the skies..

I can't but help think of 'My Little Pony' when looking at this.
