Just a quick heads-up that, as we suggested, the Rolling Stones bullion versions of the latest in the Royal Mint’s ‘Music Legends’ series is now available to order. These are exclusively distributed by US dealer, MTB (Manfra, Tordella & Brookes), so availability might vary a little from a direct Royal Mint issue, but they should be fairly easy to pick up in the short term.

This was a decent design in proof form, and it’s lost little in the translation to brilliant uncirculated bullion form. The micro-engraved border, containing a repeating composition inscription, is back again, and the coin continues with the Queen Elizabeth II effigy on the obverse. We’d expect any future coin to transition to the new King Charles III effigy.

The fifth in the series, all earlier issues sold out at the mint, and it’s likely this one will join them. Mintages are capped on this one, with the one-ounce gold limited to 4,000 pieces, and the one-ounce silver to 50,000.  We’ll add this one to our new Thematic Guide to modern music coins, which should publish next week while we’re on hiatus.
