Commemorative coins celebrating Pink Floyd are being launched by The Royal Mint, celebrating the band’s enduring legacy.
The coin’s reverse design places the prism from Pink Floyd’s album The Dark Side Of The Moon at its heart, as a symbol of the band’s visionary approach to art, sound and experimentation.
The Royal Mint said it anticipates ‘huge demand’ from fans looking to spice up their coin collection.
The new coin ‘honours both the aircraft and the engineers whose genius made supersonic travel a reality’, the Royal Mint said.
The guitar was used by David Gilmour on some of Pink Floyd's best-known albums, including Dark Side of the Moon.
