Caption: The Royal Mint revealed a new series of collectible and bullion coins to mark 60 years of James Bond on screen on Wednesday (15November2023). The latest 007 collection from The Royal Mint comprises official UK collectible and bullion coins, providing enthusiasts with a distinctive opportunity to expand their collections or invest in precious metals in gold or silver. Each coin in the series showcases an iconic scene from a different decade of Bond's adventures. The inaugural coin, commemorating the 1960s, portrays Sean Connery's Bond seated in Little Nellie, the legendary gyroplane from "You Only Live Twice." The titles of each Bond film from that decade form the background, the stylised 007 logo of the 1960s graces the coin's base, and the classic gun barrel encircles the design's perimeter. Rebecca Morgan, Director of Commemorative Coin at The Royal Mint, expressed delight, stating: “James Bond is Britain’s favourite secret agent who has captivated audiences for over 60 years. We are delighted to be unveiling a new collectible coin range to celebrate 007’s journey. Each coin will feature a unique design linking to the films of that decade, which is a testament to the coinmaking skills that our craftspeople have perfected over the years.” Andrew Dickey, Director of Precious Metals at The Royal Mint, added: “We’re excited to launch the 007 range of bullion coins, a celebration of British culture that combines exclusive design with meticulous craftsmanship. These bullion coins, available in 1oz gold and 1oz silver and minted to the highest specifications, embody the standards of quality and excellence expected from a world-leading mint.” The James Bond bullion coins are available in 1oz 999.9 fine gold and 1oz 999 fine silver, their pricing linked to the daily precious metal prices. Collectors can acquire each coin in gold Proof, silver Proof, or Brilliant Uncirculated editions, with prices starting from £14.50.
