Honor for Paul McCartney: Own memorial coin with the magical piano!

Llantrisant, Wales, UK - Sir Paul McCartney, the legendary icon of music history, is now honored with its own commemorative coin! The Royal Mint has released a new collector's piece that not only shows the eccentric "magical piano" from the Beatles film "Magical Mystery Tour", but also contains hidden information on its immense career. McCartney describes the honor as a "great honor" to have a coin that will represent a symbol of his unprecedented music trip for many generations ( Krone ).

not only emblazoned on the coin the magical piano, but also notes that McCartney has selected personally, and the logo of his band Wings. This commemorative coin is an exclusive edition that is available in different variants - from the simplest coin at a price of £ 15.50 to rare expenses that can cost over £ 100. As early as 2025, the Royal Mint will also offer a limited gold output that is between 120 and 7100 euros!

As the Royal Mint reports, this is the first coin that recognizes McCartney's remarkable artistic achievements. Rebecca Morgan, the director of the Royal Mint, emphasizes that it is only appropriate to celebrate such an important figure of British culture on an official coin. "Paul was involved throughout the draft process," she explains proudly ( BBC ).

In addition, a special pleectrum shape of the coin is produced, which is made of sustainable gold-obtained from electronic scrap. These special editions not only testify to McCartney's influences, such as the use of Pennies as picks in its early days, but also from a modern approach of the coin embossing. McCartney itself has signed a handmade gold coin, which took over 250 hours in production, during his GOT back tour in Paris, which further increases the desire of this coin. Once again, it turns out that the ex-beatle not only shines musically, but also as a cultural heritage!
