How to buy the new Royal Mint Freddie Mercury coin in the UK

We all know Royal Mail are the champions of memorabilia, especially when it comes to musical icons.

A new coin featuring Freddie Mercury has been released by a British coin company as part of their Music Legends series. It joins coins already made honoring music icons like Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Michael.

This new coin honors Freddie Mercury’s iconic performance at Live Aid in July 1985. It depicts him wearing a yellow jacket, captured mid-performance, and features a musical staff around the coin’s edge to represent his incredible four-octave vocal range, finished with his signature.

Freddie Mercury’s sister, Kashmira Bulsara, had the honor of striking the first coin at The Royal Mint. She described the experience as deeply emotional and said Freddie would have been thrilled with the tribute and that his family was proud to be involved in creating it.

He deeply admired British traditions and institutions, so he would have been incredibly honored that The Royal Mint created such a beautiful coin to celebrate his life. The coin truly reflects his love for music and the happiness he shared with so many people.

Here’s how to buy the coin today.
