"ROCKETMAN"?? More like "overpriced" man!!
Solid gold "999", 1kg coin
Sir Elton John has been having a bit of a revival lately, not that he ever went away, to be fair..... With the immense success of the "Rocketman" film based on his life(main CHARACTER played by a Welsh man too), his 2019 autobiography, his successful lockdown benefit gig and now a set of tremendously fancy coins celebrating his contributions to music and culture.
BU uncirculated - face value £5(cost £13)
The Royal Mint in Llantrisant, South Wales, is offering a range of Elton money, which like most commemorative coins has different prices to its face values.
1oz silver proof
The cheapest Elton coin costs £13, but shows a face value of £5. The most expensive has a face value of £1,000 and costs a staggering (and very specific) £68,865. Said £70-grand trinket is a one-kilogram gold proof coin, of which only four are available -- though I would question whether even that is too many.
**For the benefit of the "plagiarism police", all images have been painstakingly pinched from the Royal mint website. Images are most definitely NOT my own....
As I said in @silvergoldhunter's post: I don't know each mintage, but these coins appear to be very expensive. You will have to hold them many years, to have any profit (I think).

I try to stay close to the spot price as possible. And generic Precious Metal Rounds usually stay around spot price. Government Bullion Coins can spike to 4x or more sometimes.
