How to buy the new John Lennon Royal Mint coin in the UK
The Beatles icon is the latest musician to be immortalised by The Royal Mint.
On the year John Lennon would've celebrated his 85th birthday, The Royal Mint have honoured the musician with a commemorative coin.
As the founder of the biggest act in music history – The Beatles – and a fantastic performer in his own right, Lennon has rightfully joined the likes of Queen, David Bowie, Shirley Bassey, George Michael, and Sir Paul McCartney, to be honoured on their very own UK coin.
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.
