| Obverse lettering | BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS QUEEN ELIZABETH II 2018 PM |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the mythological winged horse Pegasus in a dramatic rearing pose, with both large, elaborately feathered wings fully spread to either side, filling the field with fine naturalistic detail. The creature is shown with forelegs raised and head held high, its flowing mane rendered with great intricacy against a polished mirror field. The denomination '$5' appears in the upper left field, while the inscriptions 'Ag.999' and '5 OUNCE' are engraved along the lower exergue, confirming the coin's fineness and weight. A small Pobjoy Mint 'P' mark is also present within the design. The reverse exhibits a frosted finish on the central design elements, creating a striking cameo contrast. |

| Additional information |
The British Virgin Islands has long served as an issuing authority for collector-focused bullion and commemorative coinage produced under royal prerogative, with actual striking contracted to the Pobjoy Mint or the East India Company Mint depending on the series. These five-ounce silver issues are produced specifically for the numismatic market — no meaningful circulation, no monetary function beyond the face value assigned by Order in Council.
Pegasus as a subject recurs frequently in BVI commemorative programs, making die variety research across the 2018–2019 production window worthwhile for specialists assembling a complete type set.
