The design features a portrait of the Beatles singer and solo artist, based on an image by music industry photographer Bob Gruen.

皇家造幣廠紀念硬幣總監麗貝卡·摩根（Rebecca Morgan）說：“可以說是有史以來最偉大的歌手和詞曲作者之一，列儂（Lennon）作為藝術家，激進主義者和和平的倡導者的成就繼續繼續下去，現在將永遠被記住。

列儂的兒子肖恩（Sean）代表該團體撿起了鑼，說：“世界無法忘記像甲殼蟲樂隊這樣的人，我們需要世界上這種音樂，我們需要和平與愛，我們需要60年代的魔力才能活著。”
