The B 10p has plenty to offer a Bond fan before an album even comes into it. The 007 logo and gun-barrel motif make the cinema connection immediate. It is a small piece of Bond memorabilia you can collect in two dates.

Bond on the page, screen and coin

Ian Fleming introduced James Bond in 1953. Sean Connery brought him to cinema audiences in Dr. No in 1962. The alphabet coin draws on that screen identity: a large B sits within the gun-barrel design, with 007 below it.

The Royal Mint names the subject Bond… James Bond. It gives B a clear place in a film collection as well as the Great British A–Z.

One Bond coin or a pair?

A single B makes a thoughtful choice for someone who enjoys the films. An alphabet collector may want a particular date, or both 2018 and 2019.

The date appears on the portrait side. Circulation mintages were 220,000 for 2018 and 84,000 for 2019, excluding collector editions.

More stories in the alphabet

For a collection built around fictional characters and legends, add K for King Arthur or L for Loch Ness Monster. Each takes the alphabet in a different direction.

Pick your Bond 10p
