Downies says about this coin:
Uniting a cutting-edge Ultra High Relief strike with the masterful application of full-colour enamelling, the 2018 $5 Great White Shark 3D Enamel 3oz Silver Antique coin forms a terrifying tribute to one of the world's most fearsome predators. Visually arresting, this imposing 99.9% silver beauty is also tremendously exclusive. The mintage has been restricted to a surprisingly low 999 coins! Ultra High Relief Strike Dominating the reverse of this official Barbados legal tender issue, a shark breaches the surface of the ocean, open-mouthed and ready to strike. As a result of the incredible Ultra High Relief strike, every curve of its cartilage, every razor-sharp tooth and even every gill is distinct and clear. The result? A seriously terrifying 3D effect. Sensational Enamelled Colour Application On the reverse, the azure waters of a coral atoll beckon, created through an innovative translucent enamelling technique that lends the coin an almost photorealistic quality.
