Jimi Hendrix 2025 1oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin

Struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, this coin celebrates Jimi Hendrix, one of the greatest and most influential electric guitar players of all time.

Jimi Hendrix is widely regarded as the greatest and most influential electric guitar player of all time. Even though his superstar status spanned just four years, his innovative style, mesmerising stage presence, and dazzling technique were simply revolutionary.

Born on 27 November 1942 in Seattle, Washington, Jimi acquired his first guitar at the age of 15. Influenced by diverse music genres, notably blues and rock and roll, he soon formed his first band. A move to London in September 1966, however, heralded the meteoric rise of Jimi’s fortunes. Taking Britain by storm with band The Jimi Hendrix Experience, he began an intense period of astonishing creativity with 'Purple Haze', 'Little Wing', and 'Spanish Castle Magic', to name a few of his legendary recordings. 

Aged 27, singer, songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire, Jimi Hendrix passed away in 1970. A ground-breaker, a genius, an all-time great, his name is burned into the annals of music history.
