Coins in the series
About the series
Music Legends is an ongoing series of commemorative coins from The Royal Mint honouring great British artists and bands. It was opened in 2020 by the Queen coin — the first British coin to show a band. It was followed by Elton John, David Bowie, The Who (2021), The Rolling Stones (2022), Dame Shirley Bassey and The Police (2023), George Michael and Paul McCartney (2024), John Lennon, Freddie Mercury and Iron Maiden (2025), and The Spice Girls and Pink Floyd (2026). Each issue is a range running from a £5 cupro-nickel Brilliant Uncirculated coin (part of the mintage with colour printing) to gold and silver Proof coins from 1/40 oz up to a kilogram.
