Silver Ounce 2018 Planet of the Apes, Coin from Tuvalu - detailed information

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the value: QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1 oz 9999 Ag 2018 TUVALU 1 DOLLAR.

The inscription around the rim also incorporates the precious metal content. "1 oz 9999 Ag" means "one ounce of 99.99% silver" (Ag is abbreviated from Argentum, the Latin word for silver).

The coin features in colour the face of an ape that appears on the original movie poster with a depiction of the adobe-like structures of the arid Ape City in the foreground.

On the left, the inscription 50 YEARS OF PLANET OF THE APES.
