Part of the Royal Mint's ongoing licensed collaboration with Eon Productions, this issue targets the collector market for James Bond cinema memorabilia rather than any monetary purpose — the face value of £100 bears no relationship to the bullion content. The 1980s Bond films spanned a turbulent creative period for the franchise, running from Roger Moore's final entries through Timothy Dalton's two-film tenure, the latter representing a deliberate pivot toward grittier source-material fidelity after Moore's increasingly self-parodic later outings.
Struck to .9999 fineness rather than the .9167 traditional for British gold sovereigns.
