If you’re an avid collector of AC/DC memorabilia, you’ll be happy to hear there are two new items on the market that you can add to your collection. A set of commemorative coins has been released to honor two classic albums by the legendary Australian band.

This collection of coins pays homage to AC/DC’s iconic albums For Those About to Rock from 1981 and The Razors Edge from 1990. Both feature a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the back and the cover of these landmark albums in the front.

The coins come with an official description, filled with interesting facts about their origin and the legendary rock band that gave us these amazing albums decades ago.

“Still today, the title song is always the last song of an AC/DC concert with firing cannons on stage. For those about to rock is also a variation of the phrase ‘We who are about to die, salute you,’ which is how ancient gladiators greeted their emperor when entering the arena,” reads the official description of For Those About To Rock two-dollar coin.
