The latest coin in the Six Decades of 007 Collection is dedicated to one of the most beloved periods in the history of the James Bond franchise – the 1990s. Featuring classic 007 adventures such as GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough, the 1990s was a stellar decade for the Bond franchise and saw Pierce Brosnan take over from Timothy Dalton as the leading man.
A custom racing machine with a V8 engine offering up 300bhp, this custom-built vehicle was the brainchild of Doug Riddle and Riddle Marine Inc. On full plane, the boat could operate in just four inches of water and stay airborne for almost 90ft after hitting speeds of up to 80mph – all of which made it the perfect mode of transport for Bond’s vehicle of choice.
The Bond Films of the 1990s UK Coin features the Q Boat in the centre with Bond at in the driving seat, just as he was during this legendary film sequence. In keeping with the blueprint of the collection, the design also features the titles of the decade’s Bond films in the background, with The World Is Not Enough appearing prominently as a reference to the boat.
It also features the 007 logo also in the same style as it appeared during the decade. Finally, the border is once again a recreation of the unmistakable gun barrel that appears during the opening sequence that appears at the start of every Bond film.
With numerous references to 1990s Bond within the design that’s centrepiece features in one of the most memorable opening sequences in the franchise’s history, the Bond Films of the 1990s UK coin is a fitting tribute to this iconic decade of 007. Don’t miss your chance to own this wonderful piece of Bond memorabilia by ordering your coin today.
