Gleaming Coin Captures The Style Of The Police

With such hits as Roxanne (1978), Message in a Bottle (1979), Don't Stand So Close to Me (1980), Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic (1981), and Every Breath You Take (1983), Great Britain’s The Police became a hit-making, chart-topping band that helped blaze a trail for a generation of musicians with a series of iconic music videos on MTV. Consisting of Sting (birth name Gordon Sumner) on lead vocals and bass, Andy Summers on guitar, and Stewart Copeland on drums, The Police found global success to the tune of six Grammy Awards on their way to being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Each of their albums was pure dynamite, too, with four of their five studio albums making it on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” One of the biggest acts in the world, The Police now make their debut on a legal-tender coin from Great Britain’s prestigious Royal Mint.

A Perfect Gift for Any Fan of The Police

The Police began their career in 1977 as a London trio from city’s growing British new wave scene. Unlike other bands of the era, they were heavily influenced by a variety of musical styles including punk, reggae, and jazz. Combining controlled energy and evocative melodies, Sting, Copeland, and Summers played with the improvisational instincts of a jazz trio merged with the raw energy of a punk-rock band—a blend that made them one of the definitive rock groups of the 1970s and ’80s. By the time the band broke up in 1986, they had released five studio albums, three live albums, seven compilation albums, 14 video albums, four soundtrack albums, and 26 singles with sales of more than 75 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
