WHAT IS A RECTANGULAR COIN?

Though it may look like a bar at first glance, this product is actually a rectangular coin. The key difference lies in its legal status.

Unlike bullion bars, which are not recognized as legal tender, rectangular coins are officially issued by government mints and carry a face value. That means each one is classified as currency—even though its intrinsic metal value far exceeds its denomination.

We refer to these products as coins to clearly distinguish them from standard bullion bars, helping you make informed decisions about the type of precious metals you're adding to your portfolio.

AN ENDURING HERO

Also known as 007, James Bond is an elite MI6 agent with a ‘licence to kill’. In a succession of dangerous missions, the daring spy employs extraordinary cunning, courage and survival instincts to hunt down and confront some of the big screen’s most notorious villains. Marking Bond’s sixth decade as a cinematic hero, this officially licensed product provides collectors with an anniversary keepsake as enduring as the remarkable agent himself.

60TH ANNIVERSARY LOGO

Reflecting Bond’s skill at Baccarat, this rectangular or playing card-shaped coin portrays the official 60th anniversary logo ’60 YEARS OF BOND’, which incorporates the franchise’s iconic 007 gun symbol. Black shading adds a dramatic aura to the design.

BRANDED PACKAGING

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is presented in a 007 branded case and themed shipper.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
