Description

Celebrate 60 years of Britain’s favourite secret agent with a 007 collection dedicated to each era of Bond, comprising six decade-specific coins and a completer coin.

The James Bond film series is a series of spy films based on the fictional character of MI6 agent James Bond, "007", who originally appeared in a series of books by Ian Fleming. It is one of the longest continually-running film series in history, having been in on-going production from 1962 to the present (with a six-year hiatus between 1989 and 1995). In that time Eon Productions has produced 24 films, most of them at Pinewood Studios. Six actors have portrayed 007 in the Eon series.

Depicts six iconic vehicles featured on the other coins in the collection (clockwise: hovercraft from Die Another Day, snow plane from Spectre, gyroplane from You Only Live Twice, "Wet Nellie" submarine from The Spy Who Loved Me, Bede BD-5J "Acrostar" plane from Octopussy, and speedboat from The World Is Not Enough). The design is centered around the signature gun barrel motif from 007 film openings, forming the foundation. The modern-styled 007 logo, consistent with previous coins in the series, is incorporated, with the engraver's initials below.
