2020 Music Legends Elton John Quarter Ounce Gold Proof Coin
Quarter ounce gold proof coin from The Royal Mint’s Music Legends series. This collection pays tribute to the British music icons that have dominated and transformed popular music. The series kicked off in 2020 with coins celebrating the rock band Queen, quickly followed by a second release, a tribute to Sir Elton John. One of the best-selling music artists of all time with more than fifty UK Top 40 hits, Elton John has collaborated on more than 30 albums with lyricist Bernie Taupin since 1967. It's the star's famously outlandish dress sense that takes centre stage on the reverse of this gold proof Elton John Music Legends coin, crafted by freelance designer, Bradley Morgan Johnson. A music note cleverly suggests a quirky pair of sunglasses while a boater hat references Elton's headgear in the music video for the 1983 single, I'm Still Standing. This design is paired with Jody Clark’s portrait of Her Majesty the Queen to the obverse. This £25 / Twenty Five Pound coin is composed of 7.80 grams of 999.9 (24 carat) gold. Finished to proof standard with a 22.00 millimetre diameter, its from a limited edition presentation of just 1,000 pieces. Our 1/4oz gold proof Elton John coins come in their original presentation packaging from The Royal Mint. A numbered certificate of authenticity and an information booklet are enclosed.
