Britain’s Royal Mint is celebrating Freddie Mercury with a new coin design that marks 40 years since his iconic Live Aid concert performance.
The coin features an image of the ‘Queen’ front man, head thrown back and holding the microphone stand mid-performance.
A musical stave that runs around the edge of the coin represents his four-octave vocal range.
The first coin was struck by Mercury’s sister Kashmira Bulsara at the Royal Mint in Wales last week.
