London - Munich. The British musician Freddie Mercury is being honored with a stunning commemorative coin from the Royal Mint. A large collector's coin bearing his portrait and signature. But that's not all: the edge of the silver coin also features the belt motifs worn by the lead singer of the rock group Queen at the massive Live Aid concert in 1985. He was not just a singer, but a legend in his vocal range, capable of spanning four octaves. This coin would make a nice Christmas present for Freddie Mercury fans. With 320 million records sold, Queen can be considered the most successful rock band of the seventies and eighties. And as is often the case with legends, younger generations are now discovering their iconic music as a timeless rock 'n' roll show.
