Comment
The first in a series celebrating British music legends issued, this coin was the first time a British band has been showcased on a UK coin. The coin was also struck in a variety of denominations and metals including copper-nickel, colourised silver proof, silver proof and gold proof.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the iconic British rock band Queen, with an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the band's logo on the reverse. The coin's design was created in collaboration with Queen's guitarist Brian May, who is also a numismatist and has a passion for collecting coins. The coin's limited mintage and unique design make it a highly sought-after collector's item for both coin enthusiasts and fans of the band.
