John Lennon is the latest musician to be honoured by the UK's Royal Mint with their own commemorative coin.
The Mint’s ‘music legends’ series celebrates influential artists. Others who have been honoured in this way include David Bowie, Shirley Bassey, Queen and Lennon’s old songwriting partner, Paul McCartney. In Lennon’s case the honour is timed to mark what would have been his 85th birthday later this year.
