2024 Cook Islands $5 1-oz Silver Iron Maiden Killers Colorized Proof

This Colorful Coin Is A Real Killer!

Formed in London in 1975, British heavy metal band Iron Maiden is one of the greatest metal bands of all time with album sales in excess of 130 million records. While their self-titled first album debuted in 1980, it was their second album, Killers released February 2, 1981, that caught the attention of fans across the world and particularly in America. In addition to their songs based on history, mythology, and horror fiction, one of the things that really separated Iron Maiden from the rest of the hard rock acts at the time was the artwork on their albums and singles. For Killers, British artist Derek Riggs painted an image of Eddie, the band’s legendary mascot, holding a bloody axe while his dying victim’s hand clutches at his T-shirt. Now that image adorns the surface of a limited-edition coin that rock fans and coin collectors alike are sure to enjoy!

Tour de Force Of Metallurgical Musicality

Struck by Germany’s world-famous Mayer Mint in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% fine silver, this coin is a tour de force of metallurgical musicality. The colorized image is accurate in every detail right down to the murky clouds, blazing lamppost, and shadowy figures lurking in the windows of the rundown buildings in the background. With a sinister grin and a bloody hatchet in hand, the colorized image of Eddie on this album was seen by many fans as a portent of the group’s impending split with then-singer Paul Di’Anno who was given “the axe” before the year was out. He was replaced by Bruce Dickinson, whose vocal talents and lyrics helped propel the band to its current status as The Greatest Metal Band of All Time according to a poll conducted by British digital radio station Planet Rock. The coin also comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning it was expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
