THE ROYAL MINT SHINES A LIGHT ON PINK FLOYD WITH FIRST EVER UK COMMEMORATIVE COIN

- One of the most influential bands in rock history is set to be immortalised on an official UK coin as The Royal Mint celebrates the enduring legacy of Pink Floyd.
- The coin features the iconic prism from The Dark Side of the Moon at its centre, one of the best-selling albums of all time.
- Nearly half a million coins from The Royal Mint’s coveted Music Legends series have been eagerly acquired by collectors and devoted music fans across 108 countries worldwide
More than half a century since Pink Floyd first emerged from the London underground scene to reshape the sound of modern music, The Royal Mint today unveils an official UK commemorative coin celebrating the band’s extraordinary and enduring legacy.
The coin’s reverse design, created by Henry Gray, places the iconic prism from The Dark Side of the Moon at its heart, one of the most recognisable images in music history and a symbol of the band’s visionary approach to art, sound and experimentation. A selection of coins will also feature a rainbow prism effect, bringing the iconic design to life in full colour. The iconic sleeve, which depicts a prism spectrum, was designed by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis and drawn by George Hardie. The Dark Side of the Moon has sold over 50 million copies worldwide.
Pink Floyd joins an extraordinary roster of British music icons celebrated through The Royal Mint’s Music Legends series, including David Bowie, George Michael, Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney and Freddie Mercury. The series has delivered nearly half a million coins to collectors and music fans in 108 countries around the world.
Rebecca Morgan, Director of Commemorative Coin, The Royal Mint said, “Pink Floyd are one of those truly rare bands whose music and imagery have transcended generations and the moment you see this coin, you know exactly who it celebrates. The iconic prism is instantly recognisable to fans around the world, and Henry Gray has done a remarkable job of bringing it to life with the craft and detail this band deserves. Their influence on music, art and culture is immeasurable, and we’re incredibly proud that The Royal Mint can play its part in preserving that legacy forever.”
Alongside the coin, The Royal Mint will also be offering Pink Floyd fans the chance to purchase an exclusive plectrum, available in limited numbers and crafted in gold, silver and dark chrome. Designed by Royal Mint designer Daniel Thorne, the piece is instantly recognisable as Pink Floyd through its striking connection to the iconic album The Dark Side of the Moon. The guitar pick holds a special place in the band’s story, and nowhere is this better demonstrated than in David Gilmour’s legendary solo on Time, one of the most celebrated moments on the album and among the most iconic in rock history, making the plectrum a fitting tribute to Pink Floyd’s enduring musical legacy.
Formed in London in 1965 by Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Richard Wright with David Gilmour joining in 1968, Pink Floyd went on to define the progressive rock genre and produce some of the most celebrated albums ever recorded. The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979) together cemented their place as one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time. More than five decades on, their music continues to captivate new generations of fans across the world.
The Pink Floyd commemorative coin is available from 9am on 14 May 2026, with prices starting from £18.50. For more information and to purchase, visit www.royalmint.com/pinkfloyd

Listening Now : Stræpa – Quiet Conversation


Stræpa craft an immersive and deeply atmospheric experience on Quiet Conversation, a delicate instrumental piece where field recordings, organic textures, and subtle electronics dissolve into one hypnotic flow. Guided by producer Tim Paters’ cinematic approach, the track unfolds with meditative patience, balancing ambient warmth with understated rhythmic movement and carefully layered sonic detail. Dreamlike yet grounded, Quiet Conversation feels less like a traditional composition and more like drifting through fragments of memory, nature, and introspection — a quietly transportive listen built for headphones, solitude, and late-night reflection.

Review ARTILLERY “Made in Hell” – EP
Hailing from Denmark, Artillery are among the true veterans of Scandinavian thrash metal. Albums like “Terror Squad” and “By Inheritance” are legendary. These two albums should be part of every solid collection. Unfortunately, the spotlight on thrash- and heavy metal dimmed in the ’90s, leading to Artillery’s split. After an on-off period, the band returned… Continue Reading → -
Listening Now : Onesie – Twilight Years


Onesie channel grief, nostalgia, and explosive catharsis into Twilight Years, a barn-burning indie rock anthem bursting with 90s Midwest emo urgency and slacker-pop charm. Produced by Travis Harrison, the track balances jangly restraint with towering waves of fuzzed-out guitars, massive drums, and emotionally raw songwriting that recalls the bittersweet brilliance of Pavement, Guided by Voices, and classic DIY college rock. Beneath the hook-heavy momentum lies a deeply personal meditation on loss, memory, and parenthood, delivered with wit, warmth, and remarkable emotional clarity. Equal parts reflective and explosive, Twilight Years turns personal grief into something loud, messy, funny, and profoundly human.
