The queue for the Royal Mint website has now gone down and there’s plenty of availability yet.
We all know Royal Mail are the champions of memorabilia, especially when it comes to musical icons.
Now, the British coin company has released a special Pink Floyd coin to add to Music Legends line-up, joining the likes of The Beatles, Freddie Mercury and the Spice Girls.
The coin commemorates the band’s legacy and the iconic design of The Dark Side of the Moon, originally designed by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis and drawn by George Hardie.
A selection of coins will feature the rainbow prism effect, bringing the iconic design to life in full colour.
Rebecca Morgan, Director of Commemorative Coin, The Royal Mint said, “Pink Floyd are one of those truly rare bands whose music and imagery have transcended generations and the moment you see this coin, you know exactly who it celebrates. The iconic prism is instantly recognisable to fans around the world, and Henry Gray has done a remarkable job of bringing it to life with the craft and detail this band deserves. Their influence on music, art and culture is immeasurable, and we’re incredibly proud that The Royal Mint can play its part in preserving that legacy forever.”
As usual, the coin comes in both colour and monotone and on a range of coin sizes and proofs.
