The British Royal Mint has unveiled a collectable coin featuring singer George Michael that comes in a variety of colours and finishes.
The coin is part of The Royal Mint's music legends series, which also includes David Bowie, Elton John and Queen, and shows Michael wearing sunglasses and a jacket with an upturned collar.
It was designed by artist Sandra Deiana and features the colours black and red, which The Royal Mint said the singer used "prominently" throughout his career.

The coin also features a graphic visualisation of the refrain of Michael's song Faith and the sunglasses he wore in the corresponding music video.
"From the beginning of the project, I was clear about certain elements that I wanted to incorporate into the design," Deiana said. "I wanted a detailed portrait that captured his charismatic expression ? I was particularly thinking of his iconic sunglasses. It's amazing to be able to pay tribute to his music and what you see in the design is truly a piece of George Michael's song."
While the coin, like all Royal Mint UK coins, is legal tender, it was designed as a collectable coin and retails from £15.50. Its reverse features a picture of King Charles III.
