The Royal Mint is launching new commemorative coins celebrating Pink Floyd.
The coin's reverse features the iconic prism from The Dark Side Of The Moon, symbolising their artistic vision and experimentation.
Some coins will also boast a vibrant rainbow prism effect.
Pink Floyd join David Bowie, George Michael, Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Paul McCartney and Freddie Mercury in The Royal Mint’s "music legends" series.
The series has delivered nearly half a million coins to collectors and fans in 108 countries.
Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at The Royal Mint, said: “Pink Floyd are one of those truly rare bands whose music and imagery have transcended generations and the moment you see this coin, you know exactly who it celebrates.
“The iconic prism is instantly recognisable to fans around the world, and Henry Gray has done a remarkable job of bringing it to life with the craft and detail this band deserves.
“Their influence on music, art and culture is immeasurable, and we’re incredibly proud that The Royal Mint can play its part in preserving that legacy forever.”
Formed in London in 1965 by Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Richard Wright, and later joined by David Gilmour, Pink Floyd have attracted generations of fans.
Their albums include The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall.
Pink Floyd commemorative coins are available to buy from The Royal Mint from 9am on Thursday 14 May, with prices starting from £18.50 for a £5 denomination brilliant uncirculated coin.
Colour versions of the coin are available for £29.50 for a £5 denomination coin.
A £200 denomination gold coin is available for £10,535, with other versions in gold and silver also available.
In 2020, a David Bowie coin created to commemorate the pioneering singer was launched into space.
The one ounce silver proof coin, which was being offered as a prize through the Royal Mint’s Facebook page, reached 35,656m and orbited the Earth’s atmosphere for 45 minutes before safely descending.
The coin also formed part of the music legends collection.
Bowie’s “intergalactic legacy and career” includes the hits “Starman”, “Life on Mars?” and “Space Oddity”.
