2024 Great Britain £5 2-oz Silver Six Decades of 007 – The 1980s 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 Exciting Pre-Title Sequences

This coin is the third release in the series and represents the Bond films of the 1980s by depicting a classic scene from 1983’s Octopussy. It shows the super spy portrayed by Roger Moore flying an Acrostar BD-5J (or Bede jet), while attempting to evade a heat-seeking missile by flying into an aircraft hangar. Bond’s gamble pays off and we get to see him emerging out the other side of the hangar, just moments before the missile blows the building sky-high. The exciting, on-the-edge-of-your-seat sequence appeared in the film’s pre-title sequence and showcased the capabilities of the world’s smallest jet. The sequence concludes with Bond landing the Acrostar on a country road and then pulling into a gas station where, in his typically suave style, tells the attendant to, “Fill her up, please.”
