QUEEN OF SOUL

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.

COLOURED PROOF DESIGN

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.

H.M. KING CHARLES III EFFIGY

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.

PRESENTATION PACKAGING

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity featuring images of Aretha Franklin, the coin is housed in a presentation case and superbly illustrated shipper.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
