The sound of silver: Iron Maiden joins the Royal Mint’s music legends series...

SOURCE

The Royal Mint has done it again — this time cranking the amps all the way to eleven with a coin that celebrates one of Britain’s most iconic and electrifying exports: Iron Maiden.

To mark the band’s 50th anniversary of headbanging, boundary-pushing heavy metal, the Royal Mint has released the UK 2025 Iron Maiden £2 Silver Proof 1oz Coin — and it’s a must-have for both coin collectors and diehard Troopers alike.

Struck from 1oz of 99.9% fine silver and finished to immaculate Proof standard, this coin features stunning full-colour artwork by Iron Maiden’s long-time artist Alberto 'Akirant' Quirantes. And of course, front and centre is none other than Eddie — the band’s ever-evolving, ghoulish mascot — bursting to life in vivid detail. Whether you’re stacking silver or spinning The Number of the Beast, this is the kind of crossover collectors dream of.

But what really turns up the volume is its rarity. Only 3,500 of these coins will be released worldwide. For perspective, the Queen 1oz silver coin from the same Music Legends series had a mintage of 7,500 — and that sold out completely. So if you're into limited edition collectibles, this one is nearly twice as scarce and every bit as epic.

The reverse is a celebration of Maiden’s signature style, while the obverse bears the latest effigy of King Charles III by Martin Jennings. Measuring 38.61mm in diameter and weighing in at 31.21g, it’s a serious piece of silver art — housed in official Royal Mint packaging to match.

Officially licensed and part of the continuing Music Legends range, this Iron Maiden coin is more than a collector’s item. It’s a tribute to five decades of riffs, rebellion, and British rock history.
