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.

Now, the British coin company has released a Freddie Mercury coin to add to Music Legends line-up, joining the likes of The Beatles's Paul McCartney and John Lennon, and George Michael.

The new coin commemorates the Queen frontman's show-stealing performance at Live Aid in July 1985, showing him in a yellow bomber jacket leaning back mid song. It also celebrates his notorious four-octave vocal range with a musical stave running around the edge, all topped off with his signature.

In a special moment, the first coin was struck by Mercury's sister Kashmira Bulsara, who said: "Striking the first coin at The Royal Mint was such an emotional and proud moment for me. Freddie would have been absolutely delighted to see himself honoured in this way and to know that his family was part of bringing this tribute to life.

"He always had such respect for British traditions and institutions, and to have The Royal Mint celebrate his legacy with such beautiful artistry would have meant the world to him. The coin perfectly captures his passion and the joy he brought to millions through his music."

Here's how to buy the coin today.
