George Michael collectable coins will be available from the Royal Mint, as part of the Music Legends series. The coins feature the Faith era look with his trademark sunglasses and an engraving of the refrain of Faith.
The collectable coins will be available to purchase from The Royal Mint’s website at 9 am on 26 February.
The coins have been officially approved by George Michael’s estate.
“On behalf of George Michael, we are deeply honoured that the Royal Mint is paying tribute to him by creating a series of beautifully crafted coins. He would have been enormously proud and genuinely touched that a national institution should have decided to pay tribute to his memory in this way.“

The coin was designed by sculptor and artist Sandra Deiana.
