The First-Ever Officially Licensed Fender Telecaster Guitar-Shaped Legal Tender Coin

When Led Zeppelin’s guitar maestro Jimmy Page lit into his solo on the band’s epic masterpiece Stairway to Heaven, he shredded the bone-crushing notes with a Fender® Telecaster®. Even today, more than five decades since the ear-shattering chords burst forth from Page’s Telecaster, the track is appreciated by fans young and old. The unmistakable sound of the Telecaster is still recognized as one of the best in the music industry and the instrument is used by musicians all over the world in every major music genre including rock ’n’ roll, country & western, jazz, and rhythm & blues. Who would have thought that an instrument which debuted in 1951 and initially mocked as looking like a “boat paddle” could still be standing strong today?
