The recent release of the third of the Royal Mint’s Music Legends coins, this time starring the legendary David Bowie, helped cement the series as one of the more popular coin ranges of 2020. Following Queen and Elton John, the Bowie coin had a great design and seems to have sold very well. Both of the earlier issues also saw bullion versions go on tour, and so it’s of little surprise that Bowie would join them.

No real changes to the design, just that slightly softer definition that comes when you drop from a proof to a brilliant uncirculated finish, although that excellent border with the issue details in it is back again. We like that. A 1oz 0.9999 gold and a 1oz 0.999 silver make up the range, with the former capped at a 2,500 mintage, and the latter at 25,000. We can see no reason why this one will be any less popular than the others. Exclusively distributed by US company, Manfra, Tordella & Brookes (a PAMP company), they should be available any time now.
