Silver Investment Coin Six Decades 007 - Bond 70s 1 Oz 2024

Six Decades of 007 - Bond Films of the 1970s

The 1 Oz (31.1g) silver investment coin, in the purest 99.9% silver purity, issued by the Royal British Mint for 2024, is part of the "Six Decades of 007" series, which celebrates the unique phenomenon associated with the character of James Bond over seven issues. The second coin and the 007 decade is reminiscent of the Bond films of the 1970s.
The coin is an officially licensed product produced in collaboration with the James Bond film production companies (EON Productions Limited and Danjaq). The mintage is limited to 100,000 pieces worldwide.

The reverse of the coin reflects the next era of James Bond through the famous car from the 1977 film "The Agent Who Loved Me". The "Wet Nellie" submarine car from the "Q" development division features an armament of missiles and torpedoes for attack on land and underwater. In it, James Bond, with a Russian agent at his side, escapes in the deep sea from a pursuing helicopter piloted by the seductive assistant of the criminal Stromberger. The coin's motif is complemented by a period version of the 007 logo introduced in the eighth "Live and Let Die" film in 1973. The second decade of Bond films is represented by a collage of all the 1970s titles, from which the title "THE SPY WHO LOVED ME" stands out. The view of the central motif is framed by a view through the barrel of a gun, an integral part of any film's opening. The coin's title "Bond films of the 1970s", the year of issue "2024", and information on the purity and weight of the metal are all displayed at the edge of the coin in the form of micro text, which also serves as a security feature.
James Bond, the legendary British Secret Service agent, celebrates sixty years on the silver screen. Over six decades, he has undergone countless changes and developments with each actor, but his audience appeal remains constant. The concept of 007 transcends time and the hero's name is still associated with style, action and courage. Commemorating the Bond phenomenon is not only a celebration of one agent, but also a celebration of cinema and an iconic character that has become a distinct part of pop culture.

The obverse of the coin bears the first coin portrait of Charles III designed by Martin Jennings. The description of the coin states "CHARLES III - D - G - REX - F - D" and the face value.
