Jimi Hendrix is widely regarded as the greatest and most influential electric guitar player of all time.
In 1966, at age 24, Jimi moved from his birthplace, Seattle, to London, thus beginning 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, Spanish Castle Magic and Voodoo Child (Slight Return) to name a few of his legendary recordings. America fell in love with Jimi Hendrix at Monterey in 1967. In a sign of more iconic stage performances to follow, he set light to his guitar during Wild Thing, and changed popular music forever.
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.
This coin, minted by The Perth Mint, portrays a coloured photo of Jimi Hendrix playing his famous electric guitar at the Northern California Folk-Rock Festival in San Jose, California, May 1969.
Minted from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, no more than 5,000 of the Jimi Hendrix 2025 1oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin will ever be issued.
