A personal treasure that is embedded with history each coin is imprinted by ancient hand with Gods and Goddesses, Emperors and Mythical Creators.

Among the loveliest of the ancient coins is the silver stater minted in Corinth, commonly known now as the Pegasus because it bears the image of the winged horse on the front of the coin. The Greek city-state of Corinth was one of the largest of the ancient cities, a large, bustling center of trade. Its location allowed it to control access to the Peloponnesus overland, and to the maritime paths between the east and the west Mediterranean. Their central location and the need for a standard of exchange led to Corinth being one of the earliest cities to adopt the minting of coins, about the 7th century B.C.

Pegasus Horse one of the most important symbols in Greek Mythology and represents glory, freedom and inspiration. Pegasus is a mythical winged divine stallion, and one of the most recognized creatures in Greek mythology. Usually depicted as pure white in color, Pegasus was a child of the Olympian god Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa upon her death, when the hero Perseus decapitated her. Because of his years of faithful service to Zeus, Pegasus was later honored with transformation into a constellation. On the day of his cat asterism, when Zeus transformed him into a constellation and a single feather fell to the earth near the city of Tarsus.
