5 pounds UK 2026 – Pink Floyd

The coin is dedicated to Pink Floyd, one of the most influential and experimental bands in the history of rock music. Formed in London in 1965, the band evolved from psychedelic rock to large-scale conceptual works that had a profound impact on the development of modern music. Albums such as “The Dark Side of the Moon,” “Wish You Were Here,” “Animals,” and “The Wall” have become an integral part of musical history and continue to find new listeners decades later.

The coin’s reverse features the famous prism from the cover of the 1973 album “The Dark Side of the Moon.” The obverse shows a portrait of King Charles III. The coin comes in original themed packaging featuring Pink Floyd motifs and a story about the band’s formation and musical journey. This is an official issue of the Royal Mint, created in collaboration with Perryscope Productions.
