Scottsdale company releases collectible coin featuring The Beatles
Posted
The Beatles’ landmark, legendary 1968 animated movie masterpiece, “Yellow Submarine,” is being honored with a series of authentic, legal-tender coins created by Scottsdale-based company, The Crown Mint.
This special-edition collection is a historic first for the Beatles classic, according to a press release.
The design for these coins comes directly from the Yellow Submarine movie, with each coin in the series highlighting the psychedelically colorful artwork from the animated film. And just like the movie, the new coins are anything but typical. The first coin in the spotlight isn’t even round – it is in the iconic shape of the yellow submarine itself.
“This has been such a great collaborative effort with the Crown Mint team, with their attention to detail and design esthetic, this is only the beginning of a very creative partnership,” Joe Marziotto, Thread Shop’s vice president of licensing and merchandising, stated in the release.
Additional legal tender releases in the set include the evil Blue Meanies and the Fab Four.
The limited-edition coins are made of either pure 24kt gold or pure .999 silver and are available in various weights and sizes, including:
One ounce of pure 24kt gold
Twelve grams of pure 24kt gold
One ounce of pure .999 silver
Ten grams of pure .999 silver
The Crown Mint is from the same company that produced the famous Coca-Cola bottle cap coins. The Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine” coins are the same good quality that customers have come to expect from Crown Mint, and each one is an authentic, legal tender collectible, the release stated.
These gold and silver coins are the result of a new partnership between Crown Mint and Apple Corps Ltd., and the deal was brokered by Sony’s Thread Shop, the Beatles’ North American licensing agent.
Beatles enthusiasts and serious coin collectors may purchase the coins exclusively at crownmint.com
“We are incredibly fortunate to be able to create these highly collectible and significant coins in tribute to perhaps the most influential band ever,” Steven Harris, a principal at Crown Mint, stated in the release. “Our industry expertise and the innovative design approach that we apply to each of our projects will make this a collection cherished by fans and collectors around the world.”
