The James Bond 1oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin - Skyfall DB5 Edition - By The Perth Mint is struck by from 99.99% pure silver. Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, this is released in a series of 5,000.
Backstory. Debuting 60 years ago in 1964’s Goldfinger, the sleek silver birch sports car remains synonymous with James Bond. With front-mounted machine guns, a bullet-proof rear shield, and a passenger-side ejector seat among Q Branch’s many modifications, it became a quintessential Bond symbol. To popular approval, the car made a long-awaited reappearance in 2006’s Casino Royale, the first Bond movie starring Daniel Craig. With the acclaimed actor behind the wheel in sequels Skyfall,
Spectre, and No Time To Die, it contributed to some of the franchise’s most memorable moments, cementing its iconic status in movie history forever.
Details. The coin’s reverse portrays a coloured image of Daniel Craig with the DB5 looking out to the Scottish Higlands on the way to his familyestate. The design includes the coloured inscription ‘JAMES BOND’, the 007 gun logo, and spiral gun barrel
graphics from the franchise’s signature opening sequence. The obverse portrays the Jody Clark effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the weight, purity, monetary denomination, and 2024 year-date.
