The Dark Side of the Coin
May 18, 2026
The Royal Mint has released a collection of commemoratives to honor the legendary rock band, Pink Floyd.
Designed by Henry Gray, the coin’s reverse features the prism from the cover of Pink Floyd’s 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, with the refracted light in full color on the silver and brilliant-uncirculated color versions. The text THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON and PINK FLOYD surrounds the design. Martin Jennings’s effigy of King Charles III appears on the obverse.
