The Mint says about this coin:

Buy the Ships That Changed The World – Cutty Sark 2012 1oz Silver Proof Coin at The Perth Mint, featuring: Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver Limited Mintage – 5,000 Tuvalu Legal Tender Presentation Packaging Numbered Certificate of Authenticity

The final release in this charming series features the clipper, Cutty Sark, built in 1869 at Dumbarton, Scotland. The famous Scottish Poet Robbie Burns coined the expression ‘cutty sark’ in his poem Tam o’ Shanter (1791) referring to a short nightdress – hence the ship’s unusual moniker. Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver The coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality. Unique Coin Design The coin’s reverse depicts a representation of the Cutty Sark in full sail set against a coloured globe map and the inscription CUTTY SARK. The design also incorporates The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. Limited Mintage No more than 5,000 of these coins will be issued by The Perth Mint. Tuvalu Legal Tender Issued as Tuvalu legal tender, the coin’s obverse depicts the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the year-date and the monetary denomination. Packaging and Certificate of Authenticity Presented in a prestigious display case and themed shipper, the coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
