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

The James Bond 2oz Gold Proof Coin - 1960s Limited 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, and is released in an edition of 100. 

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. This is a coin made from 2oz gold, featuring Little Nellie in relief against inscriptions of all the 1960s film titles with the '60s 007 logo. On the obverse is a portrait of King Charles, dated 2023. Each coin comes with commemorative packaging detailing James Bond’s 1960s history. Just 100 of this coin will be issued.
