Dame Shirley Bassey was moved to tears when after striking a coin in her honour at the Royal Mint to celebrate her 70-year musical career.
The "Big Spender" singer's name and silhouette of her striking the famous arms-outstretched pose feature on the coin.
It also features the names of her three James Bond theme tunes: "Diamonds Are Forever", "Moonraker," and "Goldfinger" with a Welsh dragon to honour her roots.
"To be the first female included within the Music Legends collection is an absolute honour," Dame Shirley said.
