Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley was born on February 6, 1945 in Nine Miles, Jamaica. At the age of 16, he dropped out of school and moved to the Jamaican capital, Kingston. He tried to escape the hopelessness and political violence that prevailed in the poor quarters with the help of his passion for music. With his friend Neville O'Reilly Livingston, who shared his fascination for music, he founded the band "Rudeboys" in 1961, which was later renamed "The Wailing Wailers". With Bob Marley's conversion to the Rastafarian religion, the band underwent a musical transformation and successfully established itself in reggae. After the Wailers broke up, Marley, who had since moved to London, made his international breakthrough in 1975 with a live version of "No Woman, No Cry." Marley survived an assassination attempt on his home in Jamaica and then moved permanently to London, where he recorded the highly successful album "Exodus." With more than 75 million records worldwide, Marley is one of the most successful music artists of all time. He died in 1981 at the age of 36 as a result of acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM). Shortly after his death, he was posthumously honored with an Order of Merit from his country. In 1994, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The **Bob Marley silver proof coin in color** is limited to 10,000 pieces worldwide and will be delivered in the original box including a certificate of authenticity.
