Six Decades of 007: Bond of the 1960s 2024 1oz Silver Coin

The Bond of the 1960s Silver 1oz coin is the first in a brand new Royal Mint series celebrating the world renowned British spy James Bond. Struck in 999 fineness 24 carat silver, this bullion coin is the inaugural launch of a six-part limited series, commemorating each decade of 007. The coins will come in a Royal Mint tube if containing quantities of 25 each. Limited to just 100,000 coins.

Each coin in the series will represent the Bond films best known from that particular decade. The Bond of the 1960s coin features the iconic flying ‘Little Nellie’ craft famous for appearing in You Only Live Twice. 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 60s’.

The obverse of the coin features the now familiar official coinage portrait of King Charles III, as depicted by designer Martin Jennings.

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 silver coin, the Gold James Bond coins boast a £2 face value, qualifying them as Capital Gains Tax free. For this reason and it’s relative scarcity, we expect this silver coin to be a very popular investment choice.
