Part of Perth Mint's James Bond licensing run, this issue commemorates Timothy Dalton's two-film tenure — The Living Daylights (1987) and Licence to Kill (1989) — a stint cut short when legal disputes between MGM and producer Albert R. Broccoli's company froze the franchise for six years. Dalton had committed to a third film that was never made. The litigation effectively ended his Bond career without a formal exit, an oddity no other actor in the role shares.
