Iron Maiden’s UK Coin Range

50 years. Over 100 million albums sold. And now… their very own UK coin. 

For the very first time, the legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden has been honoured on an official UK coin range. This marks the latest release in The Royal Mint’s hugely popular Music Legends series – and collectors are already racing to secure theirs. 

The First-Ever UK Coins to Feature Iron Maiden 

Iron Maiden is one of the most influential rock bands in music history, known for their explosive performances, iconic mascot Eddie, and genre-defining sound. Now, their legacy is being celebrated in true numismatic style. 

The designs span across Brilliant Uncirculated, Silver Proof 1oz and Silver Proof 5oz, all officially approved and struck by The Royal Mint. 

Each coin brings Eddie to life with electric energy – whether it’s storming the stage, soaring across fantasy realms, or wielding an axe in full metal glory. 

Exclusive Artwork by Iron Maiden’s Official Illustrator 

The coins feature original artwork created by Iron Maiden’s long-time illustrator Alberto ‘Akirant’ Quirantes – giving these coins a rare edge over typical commemoratives. It’s more than a tribute – It’s a collectible masterclass in design, approved by the band themselves. 

From the layered detail on the £5 coin to the coloured Silver Proof that show Eddie in all his animated menace, it’s clear these coins have been crafted with real attention to detail – capturing the spirit of Iron Maiden in every strike. 

The new Iron Maiden £5 coin hasn’t just caught the eye of collectors – it’s made national headlines, with coverage from the BBC, MetalTalk, and Radio Times celebrating its launch. This surge of media attention has driven demand through the roof, as coin enthusiasts and heavy metal fans alike rush to secure theirs.

Strictly Limited Editions 

Here’s where it gets even more exciting. 

Each version has been struck to a highly limited edition: 

Only 3,500 1oz Silver Proof coins

Just 175 of the 5oz Silver Proof coins – For context, The Who 5oz Silver Proof Coin – with an edition limit of 500 – sold out entirely.

That means thousands of collectors and Iron Maiden fans could miss out. 

A Must-Have for Any Music Collector 

With past Music Legends coins for bands like Queen and The Rolling Stones selling out in days, it’s clear that demand is at an all-time high. 

But Iron Maiden is a class apart. 

Their influence reaches beyond music – into art, fashion, gaming, and pop culture. And now, for the first time ever, they’ve got a UK coin to match their monumental legacy.
