The "Music Legends" collection from The Royal Mint pays tribute to the bands and artists whose attitude, sound and look came to define each passing decade - a legacy perfectly encapsulated in each coin design.
"Sir Elton Hercules John is the second best-selling British musical act of all time, behind The Beatles, and in the United States of America, he is the most successful solo male artist in their chart history. He has sold more than 300 million records worldwide, giving more than 4,000 performances (and counting). He has helped break down barriers, challenging and helping change perceptions about sexuality, and has spent decades championing good causes - most notably the fight against AIDS. An undisputed music legend, Elton John is one of the world’s most influential cultural figures." as stated by the Mint
