2021 Great Britain £100 1-oz Gold Legends of Music: David Bowie NGC MS70 First Releases w/Black Core & Big Ben label

Collectors Going “Insane” for David Bowie Gold Coin

From Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke and Aladdin Sane, David Bowie was pop music’s unmatched master of reinvention. With a spectacular career that dazzled millions of fans with his taste for experiment, Bowie was Rock music’s greatest chameleon, a generations-spanning superstar who had the ability to adapt himself to the changes in the music scene from the 1970s into the 21st century. Without a doubt, Bowie was one of music’s most influential icons, and now he’s featured on a legal-tender coin from Great Britain’s prestigious Royal Mint.

An Iconic Portrait of the Great David Bowie

Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% gold, the legal-tender £100 (one hundred pounds) coin is the work of acclaimed artist Jody Clark, who said he was inspired Bowie’s persona from the late 1970s period when he lived and recorded in Berlin. This was Bowie’s famous “Aladdin Sane” persona, a clever play on words meaning “a lad insane,” a symbolic moniker that announced to the world that Bowie was keeping himself from getting too sucked up into his own mind. This character was Bowie’s take on stepping back a bit and grounding himself. This one-ounce gold release also incorporates elements of color and is the only coin in the David Bowie series to do so.

In addition, this 2020-dated Great Britain One-Ounce Gold Legends of Music: David Bowie Coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Uncirculated Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded coin will have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. What’s more, NGC has also certified that your coin is a First Releases (FR) coin, a designation that means your coin was received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of its release. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. It will come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a black display core and a special Big Ben label.

A Perfect Gift for Any Bowie Fan

Born David Robert Jones in 1947, David Bowie was one of the most influential personalities in pop music. Singer, songwriter and actor, Bowie’s music ranged from Glitter and Glam rock to electronica, rock and pure pop. Famous for his Ziggy Stardust persona, he also sang a duet with Bing Crosby during a televised Christmas special that has been hailed as one the weirdest yet most successful duets in Christmas music history! A respected actor, Bowie also won acclaim for his work in such films as “The Man Who Fell to Earth” and “The Hunger.” He died unexpectedly in 2016 from liver cancer, an affliction he had kept secret from all but a few close friends and associates.
