| Reverse description | A boldly composed portrait of John Lennon facing three-quarters right, depicted wearing his characteristic round wire-framed spectacles, with flowing medium-length hair rendered in fine detail. Superimposed over the portrait in large bold block lettering, the name JOHN LENNON runs vertically on the left side of the field and the word IMAGINE runs vertically on the right side, creating a striking graphic interplay between text and image. The engraver's initials HDG appear in small incuse lettering at the lower centre of the field. |

| Additional information |
Issued in the year marking the 45th anniversary of Lennon's death, this is one of several high-denomination gold proofs the Royal Mint has produced under the Beatles licensing arrangement that began generating commemorative issues in the early 2020s. The .9999 fineness is atypical for Royal Mint gold proofs, which have historically used .9167 — the shift reflects a broader industry trend toward four-nines purity driven partly by competition with bullion-adjacent collector products.
