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:
"To mark the 50th anniversary of the film Diamonds Are Forever, a new James Bond bullion bar joins The Royal Mint’s range. With diamond smuggling, casinos and high-tech satellites, the iconic film perfectly captures Bond’s glamorous lifestyle and features the actor Sean Connery’s last appearance as the British spy. Struck to bullion standard with a design that has been enhanced by innovative finishes and the quality craftsmanship The Royal Mint is renowned for, this one ounce silver bar wouldn’t look out of place in the sophisticated world of James Bond."
The bar is "minted" (struck using minting techniques similar to a coin, and not cast in the way that larger investment products are). The Diamonds Are Forever bar is also available as a one ounce gold and ten-ounce silver edition struck to bullion standard. |
