2025 John Lennon One Ounce Colored Silver Proof Music Legends Coin

Colored silver proof 1oz John Lennon coin: the first officially licensed UK collectors coin to feature Lennon. Just 5,000 of these John Lennon coins have been issued by The Royal Mint as part of their Music Legends collection, celebrating Britain's best bands and artists. This 2025 edition is a tribute to John Lennon on what would have been the singer, songwriter and activist's 85th birthday. The design is inspired by an iconic photograph by Bob Gruen, showing Lennon on a New York City rooftop with the word 'IMAGINE' to the right in a nod to the best-selling 1971 single of the same name, highlighted with selective gold printing. This silver proof one-ounce John Lennon coin comes in its original Royal Mint presentation case with a numbered certificate of authenticity enclosed, plus an informative booklet. 

John Lennon is one of the most popular and well-respected British musicians in history, and he remains a high-profile figure in pop culture more than 40 years after his tragic death in 1980. Lennon's unwavering message of peace remains a focal point of his legacy and reinforces his lasting impact on the world. His music certainly plays a high note in his enduring popularity, and he continues to be viewed as an icon of peace for his influence as a political activist and an advocate for civil rights. Yoko has described him as being an activist before activism was a word. 

The reverse of this coin celebrates Lennon's legacy by featuring his unmistakable image and the title of his most famous politically inspired song. The coin's 2025 date marks what would have been Lennon's 85th birthday, as well as the 50th anniversary of his final solo album.
