Six Decades of 007: Bond of the 1980s 2025 1oz Gold Coin

The Bond of the 1980s Gold 1oz coin is the third in a six-part Royal Mint limited series celebrating the world renowned British spy James Bond. Struck in 999.9 fineness 24 carat gold, commemorating each decade of 007. The coins will come in a Royal Mint tube if bought in quantities of ten. Smaller orders will come loose, but the Britannia coin capsules can be ordered to protect them. Limited to just 5,000 coins.

Each coin in the series will represent the Bond films best known from that particular decade. The iconic decade of the 80s, marked by Roger Moore’s signature charm and Timothy Dalton’s grittier take on 007, delivering some of the franchise’s most unforgettable moments, action-packed sequences, and timeless soundtracks.

The 1980s offered fans a unique contrast—from the wit and humour of the early films to the intense, no-nonsense approach of the later ones. Celebrating this dynamic era, the third bullion coin in the Six Decades of 007 collection features the legendary Bede BD-5J ‘Acrostar’ microjet from Octopussy’s thrilling opening scene.

Crafted in fine gold and silver, and enhanced with special finishes, this coin is more than just an investment—it’s a connection to one of the world’s most beloved franchises. Capture the essence of 007 with this timeless collectible, perfect for Bond enthusiasts and investors alike.

Coins representing each of the decades will share fantastic design features, tying together the entire collection. The featured film image will sit on a background of all the Bond film titles released in that decade. This will then be surrounded on the coin reverse by the classic image of the gun barrel featured at the start of each feature film. The outer edge then repeats the key specification details of the coin, including year f issue, metal, purity and the title ‘Bond of the 80s’.

The obverse of the coin features the now familiar official coinage portrait of King Charles III, as depicted by designer Martin Jennings. While the reverse is designed by Matt Dent and Christian Davies.

Each of the six coins will be produced in both 999.9 purity gold and 999 purity silver versions. Coins are fully licensed products in partnership with EON Productions Limited and Danjaq.

Like the 1oz Britannia gold coin, the Gold James Bond coins boast a £100 face value, qualifying them as Capital Gains Tax free. For this reason and it’s relative scarcity, we expect this gold coin to be a very popular investment choice.
