The coin is being released by the Royal Mint in the year of what would have been John’s 85th birthday.

硬币是由皇家造币厂在约翰诞辰85周年的那一年释放的。

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

Coin designer Henry Gray incorporated the portrait of John to feature at the centre of the design. John, who died at the age of 40 in 1980, follows fellow Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, Queen, David Bowie and Dame Shirley Bassey in being honoured on a Royal Mint coin. The Royal Mint has an ongoing “music legends” coin series, celebrating singers and songwriters.

"Lennon’s portrait has been captured in meticulous detail and in a fitting tribute will be released in the year which the artist would have celebrated his 85th birthday. Still admired by millions of people and generations worldwide, we hope this coin and its design will be treasured for many years to come.”

“列侬的肖像被细致地捕捉到，这是艺术家将庆祝他的85岁生日的那一年，将在这一年中发行。仍然受到全球数百万的人和代表的钦佩，我们希望这种硬币及其设计将在未来很多年才能珍视。”

John's fans and coin collectors will be able to buy the coins from the Royal Mint’s website from 9am on Monday March 17. Prices will start at £18.50 and they will be available in a range of precious metals, including colour editions, the Mint said.
