The Royal Mint of the United Kingdom, which makes the country's circulating coinage, is also very active in the bullion coinage space and issues many bullion coins which are legal tender.
Additionally, it also makes bullion which is not legal tender and is targeted at investors and not at coin collectors - such as this one.
The Royal Mint says about this product: "In 2020, a British icon joins The Royal Mint’s bullion range as we mark the upcoming release of the latest James Bond movie, No Time To Die. This celebration explores 007 alongside the technology, luxurious lifestyle and iconic imagery he represents. This stylish one ounce silver bar is now available, capturing the sophisticated, intriguing and dangerous world of the quintessentially British spy.
Since James Bond first burst onto the silver screen in 1962, six actors, 25 films and endless gadgets have brought the intoxicating world of espionage to life and helped create an icon.
This silver bar brings together the allure of precious metal and peerless design for an investment opportunity that will have enduring appeal.
The James Bond 2020 bar is also available in ten-ounce silver and one ounce gold editions, struck to bullion standard."
Key Features: - The world’s first James Bond precious metal bar. - A limited production run of 70,000 one ounce 999.9 fine silver bars. - Struck in 999.9 fine silver, which is reflected in the bar’s inscription. - Struck to The Royal Mint’s bullion standard, with special finishes (frosted and polished design). - An official licensed product produced in partnership with EON Productions Limited and Danjaq.
