| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed, frosted proof rendition of Eddie, the iconic zombie mascot of the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, depicted as a menacing full-length figure emerging from a graveyard scene. Eddie is shown in a leather jacket with clawed hands outstretched, striding forward amidst tumbledown brick walls, a cityscape background, and billowing clouds. In the foreground to the lower left, a gravestone bears the inscriptions EDDIE and RIP. The band name IRON MAIDEN appears in bold stylised lettering across the upper field, flanked to the right by the founding date Est. 1975. The commemorative mark IM50 appears to the right of the composition, referencing the band's 50th anniversary. |

| Additional information |
Iron Maiden's inclusion in the Royal Mint's official coinage program reflects a broader commercial pivot the Mint has made since its shift to a government-owned company in 2009 — licensing arrangements with rock bands, sports franchises, and entertainment properties now drive a significant portion of its bullion and collector revenue. This particular issue is part of a series the Mint has developed around British music, which has also included Queen and David Bowie.
Iron Maiden formed in Leyton, East London in 1975. The band has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, a figure that gives the licensing partnership real commercial logic rather than novelty.
