Measuring an incredible 175 mm in diameter, this 5 kilo piece is the largest silver Proof coin produced as part of The Royal Mint's Music Legends series. Throughout the production process, The Royal Mint worked directly with Paul McCartney's production company, MPL Communications, and with Paul himself to bring this captivating rarity to life.
The colorful reverse was designed by Deborah Osborne and Andrew Ross of the London-based design consultancy Osborne Ross, and it features Paul's signature at the center with details from his psychedelic "Magic Piano" and iconic Höfner Violin bass surrounding. The enameling was hand-applied to the highest quality by the Royal Mint's artisans, making each one of these pieces effectively unique.
Complementing the innovative and colorful reverse is a truly regal portrait of His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse, designed by renowned British sculptor Martin Jennings.
This historic commemorative is housed in a bespoke wooden case and is accompanied by a serialized Certificate of Authenticity that has been hand-signed by Paul. In addition, the winning bidder will receive a personal letter from Anne Jessopp, CEO of The Royal Mint.
Due to the size, packaging and weight of this lot, additional shipping charges apply. Please call 800-458-4646 for more information.
