Royal Mint launches rainbow prism coins celebrating legendary rock band Pink Floyd
The band has joined David Bowie and Freddie Mercury in the Royal Mint's 'music legends' series
www.independent.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share about Pink Floyd coins.
-
The Royal Mint has released a commemorative Pink Floyd coin officially on May 14, 2026. It features the iconic prism design from The Dark Side of the Moon on the reverse and His Majesty The King’s portrait on the obverse, with some editions including a coloured rainbow prism finish. Availability starts from 9 am UK time on 14 May 2026, with prices beginning around £18.50. This marks the first UK coin in a broader “music legends” series at the Royal Mint.

In addition to the coin, a limited-edition Pink Floyd guitar plectrum was announced in gold, silver, and dark chrome finishes as part of the same release program.
-
The coin line is positioned as a celebration of Pink Floyd’s half-century-plus cultural impact and places the band alongside other music legends recognized by the Royal Mint.
