ICONIC COLLECTABLE: The Royal Mint in the UK has released a collectable coin series celebrating music icon Freddie Mercury. The design portrays Mercury, born Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar in 1946, at the height of his powers as the flamboyant frontman of Queen. Besides his signature, the coin depicts Mercury’s four-octave vocal range with a musical stave that spans from bass to treble notes. The studded armband edge draws inspiration from his iconic Live Aid performance outfit, with the release coinciding with the fortieth anniversary of Queen’s show-stealing performance at Live Aid in July 1985.
