2021 1oz Great Britain Music Legends -The Who .9999 Gold Proof Coin
The Music Legends collection showcases iconic acts from the nation’s diverse musical past and present. The latest act to take centre stage is The Who, the explosive band who thrilled in the sixties and still rock stadiums today. It’s not often that a band will span generations, but The Who, with their explosive performances, have been a part of Britain’s soundtrack for more than 50 years. Together, groundbreaking lead guitarist Pete Townshend, microphone-twirling Roger Daltrey, John ‘The Ox’ Entwistle, and maverick drummer Keith Moon challenged genres, broke records and thrilled fans with their unique style. Artist Henry Gray has included some of the most iconic symbols from the band’slive and loud performances in his design. A Union flag, mod logo and speaker-smashing Rickenbacker guitar all feature in the form of a pinball table, which is a nod to Tommy, one of the band’s most famous creations. The coin is available in a number of editions, including precious metal Proof editions alongside a standard Brilliant Uncirculated edition. Each coin is presented with packaging containing iconic images and content about the band’s story. **KEY FEATURES** • The first time The Who have appeared on an official UK coin • Celebrating one of the biggest bands in music history • Features a dynamic design inspired by the band’s rock and roll story • A great piece of memorabilia for any fan • Available in a number of editions in limited numbers
