One Thousand Pounds 2020 David Bowie - British Music Legend One Kilo Gold Proof, 100mm diameter, the reverse design on the larger coins of the series feature a lightning bolt laced with stars creating a stardust effect, the design seemingly better suited to the larger diameter coin, as the larger coin enhances the intricacies of this iconic design. FDC cased as issued by the Royal Mint with historical booklet and certificate number 05 of just 11 minted. The flagship coin in the David Bowie series, and with this tiny mintage, sure to become a much prized issue for coin collectors and music fans alike. This issue was immediately sold out at the Royal Mint. David Bowie originates from South London UK and has sold hundreds of millions of records, his ground breaking Ziggy Stardust Album shot him to fame in the early 1970s, he had the ability to regularly re-invent himself staying at the top of the music profession throughout his life. A fitting tribute to this legendary performer. He was an outstanding collaborator, Ric Wakeman played on his Hunky Dory Album and he has released recordings with other stars ranging from Queen to Bing Crosby.

Estimate: 60000-70000 GBP
