There are many coins dedicated to all kinds of diverse themes, but surely you know few dedicated to singers or musical groups, although there are. If we close the circle more and limit ourselves to Heavy Metal groups, then things are already very difficult, but not impossible; in 2018 the Royal Australian Mint issued one to commemorate AC / DC's 45th anniversary.
Today we are going to know one dedicated to another of the most important heavy bands in history, the British Iron Maiden, created in 1975 and although it does not celebrate any anniversary, it will be honored with the issuance of a coin with a design based on his album The Number of the Beast (The Number of the Beast), published on March 22, 1982 and containing the song of the same name considered one of his greatest hits.
This coin is dedicated to Iron Maiden, considered one of the most influential and successful heavy metal bands in history, with more than 100 million albums sold. They have performed more than 2,000 live performances throughout their careers. For 40 years, the band members have been supported by their famous mascot, "Eddie," who has appeared on almost every album and single cover, as well as on their live shows.
"The Number of the Beast", released in 1982, became the band's first album to top the UK album chart and to reach the top 40 of the US Billboard 200. It was also controversial, especially in the United States, due to the religious references in its artwork and the lyrics of the title song. "The Beast" became an alternate name for Iron Maiden and was later used in the titles of some of their compilations and live releases.
This one-ounce piece of pure silver features the original album cover. The Obsidian Black finish perfectly matches the stunning color illustrations. Fans will love it. So if you like, hurry up and get your coin, since the circulation is limited to only 1982 pieces, a figure that also corresponds to the year of issue of the album.
The obverse of the coin shows the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II", name of the Queen, "5 DOLLARS", face value, " COOK ISLANDS ", issuing country and the corresponding stamp date per year »2022».
The coin is presented as you can see in the image.
