2020 Music Legends Elton John Five Pound Crown Brilliant Uncirculated Coin In Folder Rocket Man Edition
Brilliant uncirculated Elton John Five Pound coin in original limited edition packaging. This Royal Mint coin is the second release in the Music Legends series, which celebrates British musicians who revolutionised and dominated the world of music. The series began in early 2020 with the release of the coins commemorating the rock band Queen, followed shortly by the Sir Elton John collection. Sir Elton is one of the best selling artists of all time, selling over 300 million records worldwide, with his outlandish dress sense and passion for rock 'n roll propelling him from pub pianist to global sensation. His fashion sense is perfectly represented on the coin's reverse, which pays tribute to Sir Elton's 'I'm Still Standing' hit music video. A double quaver music note cleverly doubles up as a pair of glasses underneath his boater hat, with the text 'ELTON JOHN' and a cute bowtie underneath. Freelance designer Bradley Morgan Johnson is responsible for this incredible design after winning a competition, and Sir Elton gave it his personal seal of approval. On the coin's obverse is the traditional fifth coinage portrait of The Queen as designed by Jody Clark. This UK coin is housed in a protective capsule, which is fitted into a limited edition slipcase. The coin itself weighs 28.28 grams, has a diameter of 38.61 millimetres and is struck in cupro-nickel to a high BUnc standard. A brilliant gift idea for any Elton John fan.
