2023 Great Britain £5 2-oz Silver Six Decades of 007 – The 1970s Proof

Celebrate 60 Years Of James Bond Films

James Bond likes his martinis shaken, not stirred. He likes fast cars, beautiful women, and ingenious gadgets. And, whether impeccably dressed in a tuxedo or in a rugged pair of khaki trousers, he’s always ready for action with a deadpan one-liner that sums up the situation. But few guys could survive Bond’s adventures as secret agent 007 working for the top-secret MI6 branch of the British Secret Intelligence Service. The creation of author Ian Fleming, Bond made his first appearance on film in the 1962 classic Dr. No starring Sean Connery. Now, more than 60 years later, Great Britain’s world-renowned Royal Mint is celebrating Bond’s six decades-long film career with a seven-coin series that chronicles the Bond films from the 1960s to the 2020s.

Coin Depicts One Of Bond’s Most Popular Cars

This coin is the second release in the series and represents the Bond films of the 1970s by depicting a classic scene from 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me. It shows the super spy submerged in his Lotus Esprit S1 that has been converted into a car-submarine. Dubbed “Wet Nellie” by filmmakers, the specially modified Lotus Esprit proved to be the perfect getaway vehicle. The car’s sporty appearance disguised the fact that it was armed with rear-mounted cement dispensers, had vertical missile racks, and could turn into a working submarine. Demand for the Lotus Esprit skyrocketed following the release of the film with many people being placed on a three-year waiting list just to buy the car! Of course, the models sold to the public didn’t have the underwater capabilities of Bond’s fancy sedan!
