2020 Music Legends David Bowie 1 Kilo Gold Proof
A collectors piece for the biggest of Bowie fans, one of only eleven issued in this incredible addition to The Royal Mint’s Music Legends series. Celebrating the greatest British musical acts, Music Legends has paid tribute to the likes of Queen and Sir Elton John. This incredible piece is from 2020’s David Bowie collection and features an instantly recognisable image of Ziggy Stardust himself. The artist, Jody Clark, was inspired by the Starman’s Berlin years and his design features the lightning bolt from his Aladdin Sane album. On this £1,000 coin, the lightning is picked out in a textured glitter effect for extra star-power. Struck in 1,005 grams of 999.9 fine gold, this proof coin is presented in bespoke packaging from The Royal Mint with its numbered certificate of authenticity.
