Speaking about this new coin, Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at The Royal Mint said: "Still admired by millions of people and generations worldwide, we hope this coin and its design will be treasured for many years to come".

The design of this coin is based on one of Lennon's most famous portraits, a photograph taken on the roof of his New York City penthouse.

Let's find out how you can get your hands on this keepsake coin today.
