它的想象力题词在硬币的右侧是对艺术家的单曲和专辑的特殊致敬，该专辑在全球范围内成为了一部热门热门。

As a founding member of the Beatles and also as a solo artist, Lennon has won numerous awards, including seven Grammy Awards. He has also been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

作为甲壳虫乐队的创始成员，也是独奏艺术家，列侬赢得了许多奖项，其中包括七个格莱美奖。他还被入选摇滚名人堂，词曲作者名人堂，并在好莱坞的名人之旅中有一颗明星。

Lennon was shot four times and killed outside his apartment in Manhattan, New York, on December 81980.

据信他的遗ow洋子洋子（Yoko ono）每年12月8日在达科他州大楼的列侬房间的窗户上放一支点燃的蜡烛。

Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coins at the Royal Mint, said the coin was a "fitting tribute" to the singer's 85th birthday, which is on 9 October.
