Montreal's "Bed-In for Peace" held by legendary rock & roll couple John Lennon and Yoko Ono, forever etched in history, is now minted on an ever-lasting pure silver coin by the Royal Canadian Mint. Commemorating the most powerful anti-war anthem in history, the silver coin recalls the genesis of a song that echoed far and wide and still resonates today.
This 1 oz pure silver coin celebrates the 50th Anniversary of John and Yoko’s Bed-In on May 26th, 1969, and honors the revolutionary song recorded in the Queen Elizabeth hotel room on June 1st, 1969.
Your coin features Ivor Sharp's famous 1969 photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their 8-day Bed-in for Peace in Montréal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel. Sharp captured John and Yoko in an all-white setting surrounded by handwritten messages of peace — including one in French. The design portrays John and Yoko in black and white on an engraved coin. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
With its limited mintage this is truly a collector’s item. Each coin comes with a serialized certificate. A perfect birthday gift for a history buff or coin collector.
