Obverse

The obverse side of 2020 Proof British Music Legends David Bowie Silver Coins depicts Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief. This is the fifth-generation bust of Her Majesty to feature on British coins and began to show up in circulation starting with 2016-dated coins. The Queen is shown with earrings and is wearing the impressive George IV State Diadem Crown. Inscriptions on this face of the coin read 2 Pounds, 2020, Elizabeth II, and D.G. Reg. F.D.

Reverse

On the reverse field of the 2020 Proof British Music Legends David Bowie 1 oz Silver Coins is an image of David Bowie. This portrait of Bowie was created by Jody Clark, the same man behind the fifth-generation effigy of the Queen on the obverse. Bowie is shown here from the period of his life spent living and recording in Berlin. The design element includes an inscription of his name, David Bowie, a cluster of stars in the upper left, and a red lightning bolt in the background.

History

The David Bowie release is the third in the British Music Legends Series and comes with distinct features on the 1 oz proof silver coin. First, there is an inscription on the edge of each coin that reads The Stars Are Never Far Away. Second, the 1 oz proof is the only coin with colorization added to the design element.
