Comment
Third and final coin in a series celebrating Ian Fleming's legendary creation, James Bond, the coin was also struck in a variety of denominations and metals including copper-nickel, silver proof and gold proof. Issue limit: 2,017© The Royal Mint, 2020
This 2oz version features in the numerals micro text of the names of all the James Bond films and concealed within the micro text is a hidden message. When viewing the three coins together, you can look for the letters that are bolder and raised to make up the title of the 25th Bond film, No Time To Die.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design depicting James Bond, the famous fictional character created by Ian Fleming, in a distinctive pose with a gun in hand, surrounded by the inscription "JAMES BOND 007" and the coin's denomination "5 POUNDS". This design is a nod to the long-running film franchise based on Fleming's novels, which has become a cultural phenomenon and a symbol of British popular culture. The coin's silver proof finish adds an extra layer of collectibility and exclusivity to this already rare and limited edition coin.
