# CNS2089 - Elvis Presley "Ask Me" US Half Dollar Commemorative Coin
Elvis Presley is rightly called the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. He is credited with 54 certified gold singles – more than any other recording artist ever! This coin highlights one of those songs that sold at least 500,000 copies.
Mystic has permanently bonded a vibrant image of Elvis to this uncirculated US Half Dollar. The coin features an original photograph of Presley from his estate’s official archives and is officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises.
Ask Me
This coin highlights Elvis’s 1964 hit “Ask Me.” The song was originally written by Italian singer and songwriter Domenico Modugno as “Io.” Elvis’ team translated the lyrics to English, and he recorded the song in May 1963 at RCA studio B in Nashville. Because “Ask Me” was written in a higher key than Elvis usually sang, it took a couple sessions to get the song just the way he wanted it.
The song was released as a single in January 1964 with “Ain’t That Loving You Baby” on the B-side. It made it to number 12 on the Billboard chart and helped Elvis become the top male solo artist that year.
