The special coin’s release comes 40 years after Queen’s famous Live Aid performance in July 1985.
Hailed by many as one of the greatest live shows of all time, the band had not originally been scheduled to appear at the benefit concert for the 1983-1985 Ethiopia famine.
During the 21-minute performance, the band opened with an excerpt from Bohemian Rhapsody, before transitioning into an accelerated rendition of Radio Ga Ga, as the audience clapped in unison with Mercury.
He then led the 72,000-strong crowd in an improvised call-and-response “Aaaaaay-o” chant, later dubbed The Note Heard Round the World.
The set concluded with a shortened We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions.
Event organiser Bob Geldof later said: “Queen were absolutely the best band of the day. They played the best, had the best sound, used their time to the full.
“They understood the idea exactly, that it was a global jukebox. They just went and smashed one hit after another.
“It was the perfect stage for Freddie – the whole world.”
The Music Legends coin series is available to buy from The Royal Mint from 18 November.
