Key features:
Aretha Franklin is considered by many to be the greatest singer of all time. With a career spanning nearly six decades, during which she recorded 112 singles that charted in the US, her unmistakable sound earned her the iconic epithet, the ‘Queen of Soul’. In 1967, a pivotal year of protest, she recorded Otis Redding’s Respect, injecting it with new life and urgency that was perfectly in tune with the public mood. As her signature track, it remains an anthem for female empowerment.
The coin portrays a black and white image of Aretha Franklin singing in front of a microphone. The design includes a representation of ‘Aretha!’ in handwritten lettering. Also within the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
The obverse portrays the Jody Clark effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the coin’s weight, purity, monetary denomination, and year-date.
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity featuring images of Aretha Franklin, the coin is housed in a presentation case and superbly illustrated shipper.
