2022 marks the 60th anniversary of one of Britain’s most famed fictional action heroes – the one and only, James Bond!
You can now join The Perth Mint in honouring this exciting anniversary with an exquisite 1oz Silver Proof Rectangle Coin!
But first, let’s go back to where it all began…
Becoming BOND
Born from the innovative mind of former intelligence officer and author Ian Fleming in 1953, James Bond has become the most iconic fictional British Secret Service agent EVER!
Now, 60 years after the premiere of the first movie, Dr. No, James Bond continues to entertain and excite audiences around the world in one of cinema’s longest running and most successful franchises.
The Coin Itself…
To commemorate 60 years of revolutionary cinema, this officially licensed 1oz rectangular coin has been struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality, and even issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu!
Not only is the coin’s coloured reverse a representation of the official 60th anniversary logo and the iconic 007-gun motif, but each coin is presented in a 007 branded case inside themed packaging. The coin also comes accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
But that’s not all – the obverse of the coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the 2022 year-date, weight, purity and monetary denomination.
But, there’s a catch…

Honouring a legendary war hero — NEW Commemoratives issued to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Douglas Bader Foundation
This year marks 40 years since the founding of the Douglas Bader Foundation. To celebrate the occasion a range of NEW commemoratives have been issued in partnership with the charity. But, before I go into any details about these new issues, I want to tell you about the fascinating life of the foundation’s namesake – Group Captain Sir Douglas Bader.
Sir Douglas Bader
Douglas Bader was born in London in 1910 and was commissioned into the Royal Air Force in 1930. Tragically, 18 months later he was in a plane crash in which he lost both legs.
Due to this accident, he was discharged from the RAF and was forced to find work elsewhere.
However, after the outbreak of the Second World War, Bader was able to rejoin the air force. He became a leading airman during WW2, flying Spitfires and Hurricanes at Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain. In 1941, he was shot down and held as a prisoner of war.
During his descent, Bader lost his right artificial limb. He persuaded his German captors to radio England to ask them to send over a replacement leg. On the night of 19 August 1941, during a normal bombing raid, his new leg was dropped from a Blenheim, along with some stump socks, tobacco, and chocolate.
Despite his disability, he made several escape attempts. Bader was eventually placed in Colditz until its liberation in 1945.
Douglas Bader was a charismatic and controversial character. After the war, he campaigned tirelessly on behalf of amputees and people with disabilities. He inspired millions with his example and was honoured with a knighthood in 1976. He is considered a national hero for both his war efforts and his work with the disabled which he was involved in up until he died in 1982.
The Douglas Bader Foundation
The Douglas Bader Foundation was established immediately following his death in 1982 by his friends and family, many of whom had flown by his side during the war.
For 40 years, the Douglas Bader Foundation has worked to help people with disabilities, supplying prosthetics, grants, and support to many people.
To support this fantastic charity, a donation from the sale of each of the brand-new commemoratives will go directly to the Douglas Bader Foundation.
So, let’s take a closer look at the new range ….
The Silver Spitfire Commemoratives
These incredible Silver Spitfire commemoratives feature a 3D Spitfire model crafted from a genuine piece of aluminium from a Spitfire AB910.
AB910 flew in The Dieppe Raid – one of the most significant air battles in history and flew cover patrols over Normandy beachheads on D-Day.
I can’t think of a more fitting tribute to Douglas Bader and the Douglas Bader Foundation. The daring airman flew Spitfires over Dunkirk and during the Battle of Britain.
These are available in both 1oz and 5oz silver specifications. With a small amount of this historic metal available, just a limited number of these commemoratives can be made.
