AC/DC, the legendary Australian rock band, has been shaking the world with their electrifying music for half a century since their formation in 1973. Now, in celebration of this iconic music journey, the Royal Australian Mint proudly presents two remarkable coins that will resonate with AC/DC enthusiasts and collectors alike, both new and seasoned. This release follows the success of the AC/DC 45th-anniversary program in 2018, offering a new opportunity to own a piece of rock 'n' roll history. Founded in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, AC/DC hails from Sydney, Australia, and took its name from the abbreviation for 'alternating current/direct current' electricity—a name suggested by Margaret Young, their sister. It perfectly encapsulated their high-energy and powerful musical style. Over the past five decades, AC/DC has rocked sold-out arenas worldwide and sold more than 200 million albums. AC/DC's influence extends far beyond music; they are cultural icons in Australia and their music has bridged generations and transcended trends and tragedies. Even with the passing of some founding members, including Malcolm Young, their music lives on. **Key Features:** -Compelling design celebrating Australian rock-icon, AC/DC -Limited mintage of 30,000 - Packed in a capsule and presentation card -Coins' obverse features effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark - Official licensed product
