| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, large-format rendition of the iconic '007' numeral filling the field, with a schematic top-down technical blueprint illustration of the Lotus Esprit submarine car — as featured in the 1977 James Bond film 'The Spy Who Loved Me' — superimposed centrally across the design. The car is depicted in precise, engineered line-drawing style, referencing Q Branch's gadgetry aesthetic. The legend PAY ATTENTION 007, a celebrated phrase spoken by Q in the Bond films, appears in the lower portion of the field. The designers' initials CD·MD and the trademark symbol TM are inscribed in the lower right area of the field. |

| Additional information |
The second release in the Royal Mint's James Bond series, this coin marks the villain era of the franchise — specifically referencing the antagonists and their organizations across the film canon. The series was issued ahead of the delayed release of No Time to Die, whose pandemic-pushed premiere in late 2021 created an unusual situation where commemorative coins were already in circulation before the film they partly celebrated had been seen by the public.
