The third and last of MTB/PAMP’s guitar-shaped coins celebrating the iconic Fender Stratocaster is released today, A range showcasing some of the car-inspired shades that the ‘Strat’ sported back in the day, this one is Daphne Blue, and follows Surf Green and Fiesta Red versions. Originally a colour Cadillac used in the 1950s, it was adopted by Fender in the 60s as part of its growing range.

A one-ounce 0.999 silver coin with a 6,000 mintage, and a size of 29.5 x 86.5 mm, it’s neatly packaged in a period-themed, windowed box, with the art aping the 1960s ad campaign, where musicians were pictured with their Fenders doing leisure activities, like surfing, or motorcycling. This time, it’s skydiving. Clearly a lot of effort has gone into this series with regard to the little details. Available now for around $110 USD. A cool item for the music fan.
