Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for collectors and fans of Paul McCartney to own a unique item celebrating one of the most influential music artists and songwriters of all time.
The partnership between Stack’s Bowers Galleries and the Royal Mint follows similar collaborations between the two organisations in recent years, including a sale of special royal succession coins in August 2023 and an auction of first strike coinage in October 2024.
One gold and four silver pieces are being made available for collectors, the Royal Mint said, and they will be presented through auction via Stack’s Bowers Galleries.
The gold 5kg coin is the biggest gold proof coin produced as part of the Royal Mint’s Music Legends coins series.
Brian Kendrella, president of Stack’s Bowers Galleries, said: “Paul McCartney’s timeless music and multi-generational appeal continue to inspire and unite fans across the world, making this a memorable event that all can enjoy.”.
