50th Anniversary

In Diamonds Are Forever, released in 1971, Bond tracks SPECTRE boss Blofeld to the US where he discovers his evil nemesis is stockpiling diamonds to power a space-based laser weapon. Played by Sean Connery, 007 must neutralise the satellite and prevent the supervillain from carrying out his latest threat to global stability.

Moon Buggy design

The coin portrays a representation of Blofeld’s satellite and the iconic Moon Buggy in which Bond escapes Willard Whyte's Tectronics Space Center in the Nevada desert. Also featured in the design is the Bond family coat of arms bearing the motto ORBIS NON SUFFICIT (the world is not enough) and the number 50, as well as the inscription ‘DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER’.
