2020 £5 Music Legends - David Bowie Brilliant Uncirculated Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present 2020 £5 Music Legends - David Bowie Brilliant Uncirculated Coin, produced by the Royal Mint.

In 2020, The Royal Mint is celebrating some of the country's most important artists - individuals and bands who have helped shape our love of music.

The third coin in the Music Legends collection celebrates rock’s definitive chameleon with a design inspired by an image of the singer from his time spent living and recording in Berlin.

The inclusion of the lightning bolt motif from the Aladdin Sane era captures Bowie’s career journey, and the moment he finally put aside the props to emerge as an artist in his own right.

Born in Brixton, South London, in 1947, David Bowie began life as David Robert Jones. By the time he was 19 he had taken on his iconic name and was taking the first steps in one of the most innovative and influential careers in the history of sound and vision. His music electrified generations, and his perpetual state of reinvention kept music fans enthralled.

The coin is struck to Brilliant Uncirculated finish and comes within a David Bowie themed presentation folder.

2020 £5 Music Legends - David Bowie Brilliant Uncirculated Coin has unlimited mintage
