To honor the Rolling Stones on their milestone 60th anniversary, the Royal Mint has announced a new commemorative coin dedicated to the iconic band.

To honor the Rolling Stones on their milestone 60th anniversary, the Royal Mint has announced a new commemorative coin dedicated to the iconic band.

Hannah Phizacklea's design features a silhouette image of the Stones performing, accompanied by the band's name in the classic 1973 font.

The Rolling Stones lost their long-standing drummer Charlie Watts in 2021, leaving the band to continue as a three-piece, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood remaining as its current official members.

All four of them are visible on the face of the new 5-pound ($6.04) collectible coin. The other side bears the image of Queen Elizabeth II.

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones are considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time. With a career spanning seven decades, the iconic group has a list of hits that includes eight U.K. No. 1 singles and 13 U.K. No. 1 albums, as well as countless hits internationally.

"We are delighted to be honored by way of an official UK coin," the legendary rockers said in a statement. "Even more significant that the release coincides with our 60th anniversary."

The "Made to Rock" coin is part of the Royal Mint's Music Legends collection.

Queen, Elton John, David Bowie, and the Who are the other legendary British artists whom the official maker of British coins has honored.
