This new, Music Legends series begins with its first coin that features one of the world’s best-selling music bands, Queen. This band was formed by Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Meddow Taylor in 1970 in London, UK. Queen mingled their hard rock sound with pop music, redefining the genre and taking it to the next level. The album that garnered their fame was A Night at the Opera in 1975, featuring the all-time classic song Bohemian Rhapsody. Their best hits compilation album remains the top-selling album in the UK, and it was also certified platinum eight times in the US. Their renowned performance at Live Aid secured their history in the music world where they performed their famous songs Bohemian Rhapsody, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Will Rock You, and more. Mercury passed away in 1994 from AIDs, leaving a profound mark on the world. The band continues today with Adam Lambert as the lead singer.

The obverse of the coin displays the famous Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with her royal crown and earrings. She is surrounded by inscriptions with the coin’s denomination and an engraving of her name.

The gorgeous reverse of the coin was designed by the Royal Mint’s Chris Facey and approved by band members Roger Taylor and Brian May. The design showcases the name Queen in its classic font used on its albums. There is a piano, a guitar, bass guitar, microphone, and drum with a swan on it to represent the band members. If you look closely, some of the piano keys appear to be pushed down. This is to pay homage to the opening notes of Bohemian Rhapsody.
