| Additional information |
Palau has issued commemorative silver under licensing agreements with major entertainment properties since the early 2000s, and this piece falls within a series tied to the James Bond franchise — specifically the fiftieth anniversary of the Bond films, which were celebrated extensively in 2012 across merchandise, media, and numismatics. The DB5 itself became synonymous with the franchise after appearing in Goldfinger in 1964, though the actual car used during filming was a pre-production model borrowed directly from Aston Martin's factory.
