2020 Great Britain £2 1-oz Silver Legends of Music: Elton John Colorized Proof

Silver Coin Pays Tribute to the Music World’s Legendary Rocketman

With a career spanning nearly 60 years, Elton John is a true living legend in the world of pop music and rock ’n roll. His songs have touched the lives young and old with a mix of soulful ballads, guitar-driven rockers and catchy songs that get people up on their feet and dancing to the beat. He’s conquered stage, screen and the Billboard charts, and now he’s featured on a legal-tender coin from Great Britain’s prestigious Royal Mint.

Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% silver, the legal-tender £2 (two pounds) coin is the work of artist & digital sculptor Bradley Morgan Johnson, who said he was inspired by Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing” music video, and incorporated the singer’s recognizable hat, sunglasses and bow tie seen in the video into his design. This one-ounce silver release also incorporates elements of color and is the only coin in the Elton John series to do so.

In addition, this 2020-dated Great Britain One-Ounce Silver Legends of Music: Elton John Coin comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. The design really does justice to the legacy and influence of Elton John and was officially approved by the iconic singer himself.

One of the most popular and successful artists in music history, Sir Elton John has sold more than 300 million records and notched 57 Top 40 hits, 27 Top Ten singles and nine No. #1 chart toppers. Born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, Sir Elton is as famous for his flamboyant costumes and showmanship as he is for his remarkable string of hits. Not only has he inspired countless musicians, but his life served as the basis for the 2019 film Rocketman, which earned actor Taron Egerton a Golden Globe award his dynamic portrayal of Elton. The film also garnered Elton John and his long-time songwriting partner Bernie Taupin an Academy Award for Best Original Song for their “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again.”
