Australia has two mints, the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint, which are both very active in the bullion coinage space; coins issued by them are legal tender. Additionally, there are private issuers of bullion which is not legal tender and is targeted at investors and not at coin collectors - such as this one. The Latinum Slip - Gold pressed Latinum silver ounce was released by the Perth Mint as part of a long series of products featuring characters and themes from the Star Trek series of films. In the science fiction series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, latinum was a rare silver coloured liquid of extremely high value prized by many civilisations in the Alpha Quadrant, particularly the Ferengi Alliance. In order to be used as trade-able currency, liquid latinum was suspended within gold or gold dust to form the end product, gold-pressed latinum. The gold served only as a carrier for the latinum and was worthless to the Ferengi. There were several denominations of gold-pressed latinum, the smallest being the slip, followed by the strip, the bar, and the brick. One bar of gold-pressed latinum is equal to twenty strips or 2,000 slips of latinum. Each denomination features a maker’s mark for authenticity. This silver bar is usually listed under "Tuvalu" by various web sites, but - unlike the rest of the series - it is not legal tender of that country, so we have listed it under "Australia" where the manufacturer (the Perth Mint) is located. | ||||||
