Johnny Hallyday 60 years of memories
50€ Gold coin
Proof quality Yeardate 2020
On the occasion of the
3rd anniversary of Johnny Hallyday's passing away and the 60th anniversary of
his first title, the Monnaie de Paris has decided to pay tribute to this major
artist through a new range of monetary and non-monetary products. This
collection highlights the showman, the outstanding guitarist and the great
biker that Johnny was. The blister pack features a portrait of Johnny
Hallyday, his eyes overflowing with determination and passion.
The obverse of this
coin pays tribute to the greatness and longevity of Johnny Hallyday's career.
The two portraits separated by the curve of a guitar represent the artist at
two moments of his life, which was dedicated to music and to the stage. The
acronym "RF" is also stylized with guitar strings. The inscription
"60 ans de souvenirs" underlines the long career of the France’s
favourite rocker and refers to his cult song "Souvenirs, Souvenirs".
The reverse of this coin represents two objects that gave rhythm to the
life of Johnny: the guitar and the motorcycle. Motorcyclist at heart, the
artist's favorite vehicle is subtly integrated on the guitar's body. The strings
of the guitar form his name to symbolize his deep bond with this instrument.
