Born as David Robert Jones on January 8, 1947, David Bowie grew up in rather humble circumstances. After initial musical attempts were not crowned with success, the song "Space Oddity" published in 1969 attracted public attention for the first time - in 1972 he finally achieved his breakthrough. With around 140 million records sold, David Bowie is one of the most influential artists of our time. The exceptional British musician has polarized like no other and is particularly known for the embodiment of his alter ego "Ziggy Stardust". In addition to "Space Oddity", the productions "Sound and Vision", "Let's Dance", "Life on Mars?" and the so-called Berlin trilogy "Heroes", "Low" and "Lodger" are also among his greatest hits. On January 10, 2016 - two days after his 69th birthday and the release of the album "Blackstar" - David Bowie succumbed to cancer. The **David Bowie 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.
