PAMP subsidiary, Manfra, Tordella & Brookes (MTB), continues its series of shaped silver coins celebrating one of the most iconic brands in music history, Fender Guitars. We’ve covered lots of these because they seem to be very popular, the last of them being the Fender Jaguar back in March, and they feature prominently in our Thematic Guide to Modern Music Coins, which we think you’ll find very interesting if this is your thing.

The latest issue is another guitar that isn’t a Stratocaster or Telecaster – the Jazzmaster. First released in 1958, it was more expensive than the Stratocaster, and marketed towards the jazz musician, although found much favour amongst surf rock guitarists. It was used by such luminaries as Elvis Costello, Nels Cline, David Rhodes, and Alex Turner, and was available, like most Fender guitars, in a wide range of coloured finishes.

For the coin, MTB/PAMP has gone with a wild, metallic yellow-green shade range from 1958 called Unique Sparkle Surfburst. We’ve said it time and again in our coverage of this series, that the producer has done a top job diving into Fender history with the colours of these coins. It’s everything a collector of memorabilia looks for, right down to the heavily themed packaging, and correct detailing. This one-ounce coin should be available to order from today, and has a mintage of 4,000 units. Despite not owning any, we have a huge soft spot for these, and the ones we’ve seen in hand in the past have not disappointed.
