LLANTRISANT, Wales, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rock and roll history is set to be immortalised as The Royal Mint unveils a UK coin to celebrate one of the greatest showmen of all time, Freddie Mercury - an extraordinary tribute to the rock icon whose voice and showmanship defined generations.
The collectible coin captures Mercury mid-performance at the height of his powers, showcasing the flamboyant frontman in full flow with his signature inscribed alongside his portrait. The design's intricate details tell the story of Mercury's extraordinary talent through carefully crafted design elements.
Freddie's legendary four-octave vocal range is represented by a musical stave that runs around the edge of the coin, spanning from bass to treble notes. The studded armband edge design draws inspiration from his iconic Live Aid performance outfit, a fitting tribute to what many consider the greatest rock performance of all time. A selection of the coins will also feature colour, bringing Freddie's iconic yellow jacket to life on the coin design and capturing the vibrant energy that made him such a magnetic stage presence.
This celebration comes at a particularly poignant time, commemorating the 40th anniversary of Queen's show-stealing performance at Live Aid in July 1985 and also the 40th anniversary of Freddie's first solo studio album, "Mr. Bad Guy", released the same year, reminding fans of his versatility as both a Queen member and solo artist who pushed creative boundaries throughout his career.
In a special moment that brought the coin's creation full circle, Freddie Mercury's sister, Kashmira Bulsara, visited The Royal Mint to strike the very first coin herself, making her an integral part of this historic tribute to her brother's legacy.
Rebecca Morgan, Director of Commemorative Coin at The Royal Mint, said: "Having Kashmira visit us to strike the first Freddie Mercury coin was incredibly moving and made this project even more special. Freddie Mercury wasn't just a musician; he was a force of nature who transformed every stage he stepped onto. This coin captures that electric energy and celebrates a truly global icon whose influence continues to inspire generations. The level of detail in this design, from his signature to the musical stave representing his incredible vocal range, makes this one of our most special commemorative pieces."
Kashmira Bulsara, Freddie Mercury's sister, commented: "Striking the first coin at The Royal Mint was such an emotional and proud moment for me. Freddie would have been absolutely delighted to see himself honoured in this way and to know that his family was part of bringing this tribute to life."
Kashmira added, "He always had such respect for British traditions and institutions, and to have The Royal Mint celebrate his legacy with such beautiful artistry would have meant the world to him. The coin perfectly captures his passion and the joy he brought to millions through his music."
The Freddie Mercury collectible coin continues The Royal Mint's tradition of celebrating British cultural icons who have left an indelible mark on the world stage. From his early days with Queen through to his final performances, Mercury's legacy as one of Britain's greatest entertainers is now preserved forever on an official UK coin.
In a fitting tribute to Mercury's philanthropic legacy, The Royal Mint will also gift a special gold proof version of the coin to the Mercury Phoenix Trust, the AIDS charity founded in his memory. The charity will auction this unique piece in the coming months, continuing Mercury's mission to support those affected by HIV and AIDS.
Freddie Mercury is the latest music artist to form part of The Royal Mint's ongoing 'Music Legends' coin series, celebrating the greatest singer and songwriters in British history. Mercury follows the likes of David Bowie, George Michael, Shirley Bassey and Paul McCartney in being honoured on their very own UK coin. The Music Legends coin series has proved hugely popular with collectors and music fans, delivering nearly half a million coins to enthusiasts in 108 countries around the world.
The collection is available from 9am on 18 November with prices starting from £18.50. For more information and to purchase from The Royal Mint visit the following website. A selection of the coins will also be available to buy from the Freddie Mercury store via the following link.

ROYAL MINT ROCKS THE NATION WITH FREDDIE MERCURY COLLECTIBLE COIN
HONG KONG, Dec. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For the millions of programmers, creative professionals, and remote workers battling the inertia of sedentary work, a breakthrough moment has arrived. LiberNovo, the company pioneering the next generation of workspace solutions, today announced the global, full-inventory launch of the LiberNovo Omni – the world's first dynamic ergonomic office chair designed to adapt to your body's every micro-movement.
The Omni is now ready-to-ship across five major regions — the US, Canada, the EU, Germany, and the UK. This milestone elevates LiberNovo from a fast-growing regional player to a multi-continent operator, opening a new era in health-focused workspaces.
The announcement follows LiberNovo's recent high-profile presence at the Global AI Pitch Summit Silicon Valley 2025, where the brand officially introduced its future-forward vision for health-first design powered by intelligent motion.
No Waiting: The Global Shift to Instant Ergonomics
Recognizing the global urgency for sitting-pain relief, LiberNovo has synchronized fulfillment across North America and Europe, enabling consumers to order and receive the Omni without lead times. The shift from pre-order to in-stock availability positions LiberNovo as a provider capable of delivering next-generation comfort on demand to engineers, designers, gamers, and hybrid workers alike.
Dynamic Ergonomics — Support Defined by Motion
The rise of long-hour remote work has proven that traditional, static seating is insufficient. Professionals are searching for the best ergonomic chair, but need a solution that can keep up with long hours. They demand the user conform to a fixed 'ideal' posture. LiberNovo Omni shifts the focus from fixed posture to Dynamic Ergonomics: support that adapts to natural movement.
Key innovations:
- Dynamic Support System — Real-time adaptive support that aligns head, spine, elbows, and hips through natural motion.
- Bionic FlexFit Backrest — 16 joints + 8 adaptive panels form a responsive S-curve that mimics the spine to relieve long-hour pressure.
- Four Intelligent Modes — Work / Entertainment / Meeting / Recovery — fluid transitions for different daily states.
- Deep Spinal Recovery Recline（160° ） — Decompression positioning designed to restore mobility and release tension.
- Intuitive Adjustability — 4D armrests, 3D neck support, adjustable seat height & recline, optional footrest for personal fit.
Together, these advancements position LiberNovo as a complete next-generation ergonomic upgrade, a meaningful alternative for users seeking comfort, pain relief, and more sustainable work-life health.
Silicon Valley AI Summit — Where Technology Meets Health
At the Global AI Pitch Summit in Silicon Valley, LiberNovo shared more than a product — it presented a vision for how AI, Dynamic Ergonomics, and health-first workspace design will redefine the future of knowledge work. Representing the emergence of motion-based ergonomics in the AI era, LiberNovo participated as an official sponsor, contributing thought leadership on how intelligent support systems can reduce the physical cost of long-hour digital labor and unlock healthier productivity at scale.
Over two days of dialogue with researchers, founders, and workplace innovators, the conversation focused on a critical shift: from static sitting to adaptive, responsive work environments. LiberNovo hosted a 45-minute expert panel exploring AI & occupational health, the body's reactivation in the sedentary era, and why dynamic support will become foundational in smart workspaces. A live keynote and product demo further illustrated how the LiberNovo Omni responds to micro-movements in real time—showing a tangible pathway toward AI-interactive ergonomics that support the body intuitively, not reactively.
This moment signaled more than a presence on stage. It positioned LiberNovo at the intersection of AI × wellness × human-centered workspace innovation, establishing the brand as a key voice in the next chapter of work—where health is not an afterthought but a core design principle for future tools and environments.
