| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of the Royal Mint's Music Legends series, this piece commemorates David Bowie roughly four years after his death in January 2016. The series itself was something of a commercial pivot for the Mint — collectible crown-sized issues tied to British cultural figures had proven reliably profitable since the 1990s, and rock musicians represented an underexploited category. Bowie's estate involvement lent the project a degree of curatorial legitimacy that earlier celebrity issues often lacked.
The Spink reference Sp#DB4 places this among multiple Bowie releases from the same year, spanning finishes from standard copper-nickel through to gold proof.
