    Rock icons Queen has become the first band to join Queen Elizabeth II on a commemorative British coin.Britain’s Royal Mint has released a commemorative coin collection to celebrate the band and their lasting legacy as the start of a series of Music Legends.The coins detail the instruments of all four members of the Bohemian Rhapsody hot makers – vocalist and piano player , the late Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and bassist John Deacon.May said: "Here we have the first ever Queen and Queen coin."This is a big ‘Who could have imagined it?' moment for us. “When we began as Queen, even the first rung of the ladder to recognition seemed remote and unreachable."To have our band recognised and our music celebrated in this way is very touching, a real honour."Taylor added: "Marvellous, all this fuss over our band. I feel entirely spent."
