| Reverse description | Dynamic coloured effigy of rock legend Freddie Mercury depicted in his iconic performance pose, head thrown back in song, wearing his signature yellow military-style jacket with white trousers and red-striped belt, and grasping a microphone stand in his right hand. The figure is rendered in vivid applied colour against a mirrorlike field, framed by an arc of concentric musical stave lines at the upper right. A facsimile of Freddie Mercury's cursive signature appears in the left field, accompanied by incuse musical notation in the lower field. The border is decorated with a ring of raised pyramid-shaped studs, referencing Mercury's iconic studded wristband aesthetic, and the legend FREDDIE MERCURY arcs across the upper portion of the coin, with the engraver's initials HDG in the lower right field. |
