007 returns to The Royal Mint with a seven-coin journey through the decades celebrating the legacy of James Bond.

The James Bond £5 Crown Brilliant Uncirculated Coin - 1960s Edition by The Royal Mint is a celebration of the Bond films of the 1960s with a coin designed by award-winning design agency Bison Bison. The coin features 007 in the Little Nellie autogyro from You Only Live Twice, accompanied by the '60s 007 logo.

Backstory. Q delivers the iconic autogyro to Bond in southern Japan. Known affectionately as Little Nellie, the nimble flying machine arrives in four alligator packing cases. Once it’s assembled and Q finishes his briefing, Bond pilots the aircraft – which carries the mark G-ARZB – in search of Blofeld’s base. When four SPECTRE helicopters attack, Bond emerges victorious, destroying them all with Little Nellie’s fierce array of weaponry, which includes front-mounted machine guns, rear-mounted flamethrowers, air-to-air missiles, rocket launchers and aerial mines.

Details. Struck to a finer finish than UK circulating coins, this £5 coin features Little Nellie in relief against inscriptions of all the 1960s film titles. On the obverse is a portrait of King Charles, dated 2023. Each coin comes with commemorative packaging detailing James Bond’s 1960s history.

Dimensions. D38.61mm, weight 28.28g
