Silver Ounce 2024 James Bond - Roger Moore, Coin from Tuvalu - detailed information

The Tuvaluan Dollar is the currency of Tuvalu - a small nation in the Pacific Ocean. Tuvalu has never had banknotes of its own, and has been issuing coins since 1976; these circulate together with coins of the Australian Dollar, which is also legal tender in the country, and to which the Tuvaluan Dollar is pegged.

The Australian Perth Mint issues a large variety of non-circulating legal tender coins under the authority of Tuvalu. Some of these are in the silver ounce format (abbreviated as 1 oz). Strictly speaking, they are not bullion as they are priced at a premium and are targeted at collectors who appreciate them for their artistic merit and collectable value and not just for their precious metal content.

This gold plated 1oz silver proof coloured coin is a re-issued of the second release in the James Bond Legacy Series by the Perth Mint.

Roger Moore was the third actor to play fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond on the big screen. Chosen by producers Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman to debut as 007 in 1973’s Live And Let Die, his portrayal was as debonair as it was dangerous, often with a deadly sense of humour.

Moore triumphed in six further releases: The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, and A View To A Kill. Knighted for his services to charity in 2003, he still holds the record for most appearances as Bond in EON Productions’ series of 25 movies to date.
