Comment
Created in partnership with The Rolling Stones to commemorate the band's 60th anniversary and issued as part of the Music Legends series, the coin was also struck in a variety of denominations and metals including copper-nickel, colourised copper-nickel, colourised silver proof and gold proof.This bullion strike was only issued by an American distributor with an issue limit of 4,000.
This strike was issued after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II but the design continued to bear the image of The Queen, in support of His Majesty the King's ambition for a sustainable transition. This ensured minimal environmental impact as the designs, tools and packaging for these products had already been produced.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Rolling Stones, one of the most influential rock bands in history. The coin's design includes an image of the band's iconic tongue and lip logo, as well as the words "The Rolling Stones" and "60 Years of Rock" written in bold, golden lettering. This coin is truly a collector's item for any fan of the Rolling Stones or of rare and unique coins.
