1263) Celebrating the 25th James Bond Film - "No Time to Die" with Base Metal, Gold & Silver Coins from the Royal Mint, UK: "007's most challenging mission": 02.03.2020:
The Royal Mint, UK has on 02.03.2020, issued a new range of collector coins, which features the world's well-known and best-known undercover agent - James Bond.
Created by author and journalist Ian Fleming (1908-1964), in the same year as Queen Elizabeth II's ascension, much of his reference to Britain's secret intelligence service was gained while working for Britain's Naval Intelligence Division during World War II.
Fleming was involved in planning "Operation Goldeneye" - an Allied plan during World War II to monitor Spain and a possible alliance between Francisco Franco and the Axis powers.
Fleming's war-time service and his career as a journalist provided much of the background, detail and depth of the James Bond novels. The literary character and franchise have been adapted for television, radio, comic strips, video games and motion picture feature film, in particular.
The Commemorative Coins:
The James Bond Special Issue Range of Commemorative Coins have been released ahead of the world-wide debut of the 25th James Bond film - "NO TIME TO DIE".
Several Royal Mint, UK firsts:
The collection includes a number of Royal Mint firsts - a seven-Kilo Gold Coin, which is the largest coin with the highest face value to be produced in the Mint's 1,100 year history and the world's first James Bond ingot bars in gold and silver, featuring all of the 25 official James Bond film titles.

Just one seven-Kilo Gold Coin will be minted, which has been designed by Royal Mint engraver - Laura Clancy - as part of the James Bond Special Issue range.
The collection also includes Two-Kilo Gold, One-Kilo Gold and Five-Ounce Gold and Silver Coins.
The primary design includes the Aston Martin DB5 Model Automobile centre-stage.
The minting methods used:
A combination of traditional engraving methods and modern techniques have been applied to the production of the seven-Kilo Coin.
CNC engraving machines have been used to cut the design onto the coin carefully, and finally, the coin has been hand-polished to ensure that the finish is elevated to the highest possible standard, and finally, areas of the relief design have been frosted using laser cutters.
The James Bond Core Range of Coins includes Gold and Silver variants and have been designed by Matt Dent and Christian Davies.
The theme of the collection features three separate coin designs, which, when placed together, reveal the famous "007" motif.

The first coin from the series has the profile of the classic Bond car - the Aston Martin DB5.
The two remaining coins feature the famous Lotus Esprit S1 Submarine/Submersible car which appeared in the movie - "The Spy Who Loved Me" and James Bond's iconic jacket and bow tie.
The James Bond Inspired Innovation Range consists of two coin options - Gold and Silver - and as part of their designs, include micro-text of the 25 Bond film titles, which can be read with a magnifying glass.
The three coin designs are available in several variants/editions - from Brilliant Uncirculated Base Metal to Precious Metal - Silver and Gold Proof.
More about James Bond:
a) The Gadgets, the Theme, the suits and the Cars:
Gadgets: In terms of their general appeal to a wide-ranging audience, the suave and debonair Bond made use of a variety of exotic equipment, gadgets and vehicles, which often prove to be critically useful. It was a near guarantee that every piece would be invaluable to Bond in the field and matched situations exactly to fit the use of the gadgets assigned to him.
Theme: Written by Monty Norman, the theme music which has featured in every film since 1962, is familiarly known as - the "James Bond Theme" and was first orchestrated by the John Barry Orchestra for "Dr No". It is perhaps one of the world's most recognisable pieces of music, which when just the first few notes are heard, instantly conjures up images of the listener's favourite Bond actor and film.
The theme has been described as a bebop-swing vibe coupled with the characteristics of vicious, dark distorted electric guitar and an instrument of rock "n" roll. The theme represents everything about the character most notably that of a confident, dark, dangerous, suggestive, sexy, and unstoppable secret agent who is licensed to kill. Aside from the signature theme, the last 24 films were accompanied with theme songs sung or performed by some of the music world's most renowned artists.
Suits: Throughout the film series, Bond has displayed a certain elegant sense of style and flair. His suits are custom-fitted and classically designed with a very British look and cut.
His casual style is also always more a country gentleman or squire, but dependent on the actor portraying Bond on screen, the look of "007" was more fitting to the decade and age of the actor, recently offering a more athletic appearance and persona. During the last 25 films, Bond has also had a great influence on the dress sense of many men, setting trends and popularising an array of clothing items from trilby hats to white dinner jackets.

During the last 25 films, Bond has also had a great influence on the dress sense of many men, setting trends and popularising an array of clothing items from trilby hats to white dinner jackets.
Cars: In the early Bond stories, Fleming gave Bond a battle-ship-grey Bentley 4.5 litre roadster, as well as, a Mark II Continental Bentley, which was mentioned in the remaining books. However, Bond's most famous car is the silver-grey Aston Martin DB5, first seen in Goldfinger, which was also featured in Thunderball, Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale, Skyfall and Spectre.
b) The Man Who Always Gets the Girl:
For Queen and Country: Although the suave James Bond remains the ultimate unattainable man, he is very successful at acquiring attractive women - many of them his adversaries. However, in his personal life, he is only interested in casual relationships and never truly gives himself to any of his partners. He is charming and irresistible, but he always keeps a part of himself only to himself.
One exception to this rule was in the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, when James Bond married the character Tracy Draco, but she was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting by his arch-enemy Blofeld and his henchwoman Irma Bunt - on their wedding day.
c) The ever present Martini - "Shaken, Not Stirred":
In Ian Fleming's 1963 book, Casino Royale, possibly the most famous drink order in history was extremely precise, combining gin and vodka with dry vermouth. It is a very potent mix, and Fleming, via his character Bond, is very specific about brands for two of the ingredients involved. Whatever the ingredients, the method of serving consists of the bartender shaking the mix with ice, which is actually a good thing, because it dilutes the drink, which is very heavy on the alcohol.
