2022/2023 Australia Mint AC/DC - 20c Coloured Uncirculated 6 Coin Collection

To commemorate AC/DC and its music, the Royal Australian Mint has embarked on a program of coin releases, with the latest release, Volume II, marking five albums: Let There Be Rock (1977), Powerage (1978), Flick the Switch (1983), Blow up Your Video (1988) and Black Ice (2008). In 1973, Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young formed their band, deciding its name from a label on a sewing machine – AC/DC. After an early flirtation with glam rock, AC/DC adopted its trademark heavy rock played very loud in live venues, attracting a devoted fan base, initially in Australia but then overseas as the band cracked the US market.  AC/DC has been as prolific as it has been loud, producing 17 studio albums and selling more than 200 million records. First was High Voltage in 1975, followed by another 11 albums through the 1970s and 1980s.
