Cool. 👍

I'm envisioning Ziggy Stardust type "flash" dominating the reverse. 🤔

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

In that case RM will probably do a rush job and just write BOWIE in Times New Roman on the front. Then deliver the coin some time to buyers in 2022 🙄

No, the Mint will want the series to go out on a high note.  I think they will produce a superbly engraved portrait of Bowie that will be comparable with the works of Wyon and Pistrucci and good enough to be entered in the Great Engravers series.

Looking at the details on the Gazette 

In gold there'll be 1kg 5oz 2oz 1oz 1/4

and some other cheap silvery & cupro nickel toot for the commoners

 

I think the 2oz gold will be the potential one to bag for potential profit/investment, if Elton & Queen sales are anything to go by thus far

Yes, but they can’t even deliver the Bond 3 😂

The only thing i see is poor quality control and a few returns to get a half decent coin. It's the royal mint way. 

You're not wrong... We're still waiting for a replacement presentation case for our 1 kilo Elton John. 🤦🏻‍♂️

For anyone interested, here's our write-up on the Bowie release:

When will this coin be released? 

I've heard murmurings that Bowie may not be with us until next year.

☝️ I think that applies to the 5oz & 1Kg.

We've had a bit of fun tinkering with what we think it might look like 😀
