The honor comes after the U.K.’s Royal Mail announced plans to mark the band’s 50th anniversary with a postage stamp to be launched in July.

 

The coin was created by Royal Mint designer Chris Facey, a supporter of Freddie Mercury’s group. 

 

While the coins can’t be used as legal tender, they’re presented in a series of options and price points, from £13 ($16.89) for a £5 brilliant uncirculated coin in standard slipcase, £15 ($19.49) for the same item in a range of slipcases limited to 25,000 each, £60 ($77.96) for a half-ounce silver proof coin limited to 17,500, £90 ($116.95) for a one-once silver proof coin limited to 7,500, and £510 ($662.96) for a quarter-ounce gold proof coin limited to 1,250. A final edition, a one-once gold proof coin, retailing at £2,020 ($2,624.79) is already sold out.
