There are few accolades missing from Beatles songwriter Paul McCartney's stellar career, and now he is to be recognized with a collection of £5 ($6.35) coins, the UK's Royal Mint said Friday.
"What makes this coin extra special is that Paul has been involved throughout the design process... and we hope fans will enjoy the layered references to songs, instruments and bands," she added.
McCartney has sold more than 100 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide and has just begun the European leg of his "Got Back" tour, AFP said.
The coins can be bought on the Royal Mint's website, with prices starting from £15.50.
The Royal Mint will also next year auction a gold coin that weighs five kilograms, took over 250 hours to make and is signed by McCartney.
The £5 coin is issued as a souvenir for special occasions. They are not in ordinary circulation.
