    <p>By Grace Robinson</p> <p>LONDON, July 6 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Legendary gay singer Elton John, who has sold 300 million records and raised almost half a billion dollars in the fight against HIV/AIDS, marked a new milestone on Monday: his own commemorative coin issued by Britain’s Royal Mint.</p> <p>The coin is the second in the Royal Mint’s Music Legend series celebrating British bands and 더나인카지노 singers.</p> <p>John, 73, who was knighted for services to music and charity in 1998, features on a series of coins of different values depicting his iconic glasses and straw boater in a design by artist Bradley Morgan Johnson.</p> <p>“It really is a fabulous honour to be recognised in this way,“ John, whose first number one in the United States was „Crocodile Rock“ in 1973, 온라인바카라 said in a statement on Monday.</p> <p>“The last few years have contained some of the most memorable moments of my career, and this is another truly humbling milestone on my journey.“</p> <p>The Elton John AIDS Foundation has donated some $450 million to projects since it was founded in 1992, foundation officials said.</p> <p>“Elton is without a doubt a British music legend and is recognised as one of the most successful singer-songwriters of his generation,“ said Clare Maclennan, divisional director of commemorative coin and The Royal Mint Experience.</p> <p>The Mint’s first coin in the music series, issued in January, was in honour of the band Queen, led by another gay musician, Freddie Mercury, who died of an AIDS-related illness in 1991.
