2020 £5 BU Coin Pack – Queen

Formed in London in the early 1970s, Queen augmented their hard rock sound with pop sensibilities, redefining the genre and elevating it to another level. Recording a string of smash hits, fans flocked to see them live, their foot-stomping anthems and epic ballads delivered with panache by their flamboyant frontman, tragically gone too soon. Widely regarded as one of the greatest bands in history, Queen are celebrated with a design that features the iconic instruments played by each founding member: Brian May’s Red Special guitar, John Deacon’s Fender Precision bass™ Roger Taylor’s Ludwig™ bass drum and Freddie Mercury’s Bechstein™ grand piano with the opening notes of Bohemian Rhapsody pressed down.

The BU coin is available in four different slipcase covers "Queen", “A Kind of Magic”; “Hot Space” and “Live” exclusive to The Royal Mint – a fitting tribute to the career of one of Britain’s best-loved bands.

Each coin comes with a poster matching the slipcase and features a design that has been officially approved by Roger Taylor and Brian May.

The perfect gift for all fans of Queen!
