Aretha Franklin 2024 1oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin

Queen of Soul
Aretha Franklin is considered by many to be the greatest singer of all time. With a career spanning nearly six decades, during which she recorded 112 singles that charted in the US, her unmistakable sound earned her the iconic epithet, the ‘Queen of Soul’. In 1967, a pivotal year of protest, she recorded Otis Redding’s Respect, injecting it with new life and urgency that was perfectly in tune with the public mood. As her signature track, it remains an anthem for female empowerment.
Coloured proof design
