This coin celebrates James Bond’s association with the Aston Martin DB5. Debuting 60 years ago in 1964’s Goldfinger, the sleek ‘silver birch’ sports car remains synonymous with James Bond.
Heavily modified by Q Branch to help Bond in a deadly mission against international gold smuggler Auric Goldfinger, the car’s exciting features included a tracking device, tyre slashers, smoke screen and oil slick, a bullet-proof rear shield, and two front-mounted machine-guns. When threatened inside the car by an adversary, Bond dispatched his unwanted passenger using an ejector seat.
Connery’s Bond was again seen driving the thrilling vehicle in 1965’s Thunderball, while it reappeared in later movies GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale, Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time To Die.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, the coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of the James Bond Sean Connery 2024 1oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin.
The coin’s reverse portrays a coloured image of Sean Connery leaning on the bonnet of the Aston Martin DB5. The design includes the coloured inscription ‘JAMES BOND’, the 007 gun logo, and spiral gun barrel graphics from the franchise’s signature opening sequence.
The obverse portrays the Jody Clark effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the weight, purity, monetary denomination, and 2024 year-date.
Housed in a presentation case and 007-themed shipper, the coin is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity which reproduces movie production designer Sir Kenneth Adam’s original sketches for the gadget-enhanced DB5.
