In the history of British music, very few acts can boast the unbridled longevity and continued success of Paul McCartney. From The Beatles and Wings to solo albums and collaborations, Paul McCartney has been a constant of popular culture since the 1960s, achieving industry acclaim and amassing a global fan base unlike any other.

From his inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to receiving a knighthood for his services to music and becoming a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour, Paul McCartney is one of the bestselling artists of all time and a true music icon. Now, for the first time, The Royal Mint celebrates this iconic performer with a UK coin dedicated to his incredible legacy.

Designed by Osborne Ross, the reverse of the coin features hallmarks of the musician’s career, including his famed ‘Magic Piano’ and his unmistakable Höfner violin bass. Supporting this iconography are further trademarks such as the Wings logo and Paul McCartney’s signature.
