The Royal Mint

is celebrating some of the country's most important artists – individuals and bands who have helped shape our love of music. No such collection would make sense without the inclusion of Elton John, the superstar who has been delighting fans for more than half a century.

The coin design honouring this music legend was created by Bradley Morgan Johnson.

With any number of famous looks from which to draw inspiration, Bradley chose to depict the performer wearing his famous music-note glasses and straw boater's hat

This commemorative coin is a great way for fans and admirers to pay tribute to this incredible artist.
