The 2022 Tuvalu James Bond Dr. No coloured proof is a one troy ounce silver coin struck in .9999 fine silver by the Perth Mint on behalf of the island nation of Tuvalu. It carries a face value of one dollar and holds legal tender status, though its appeal rests firmly in its collector-focused design and limited production format. The coin is part of the officially licensed James Bond series, which draws directly from the classic film franchise, beginning here with the original 1962 release, Dr. No.
We carry this coin complete with its original presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity, as issued. The Brilliant Uncirculated designation reflects a coin that has been struck for collector purposes, handled under controlled conditions, and preserved in its original packaging without circulation.
The Perth Mint has been producing coins for over a century, originally established in 1899 as a branch of the British Royal Mint. Today it operates as one of the most respected sovereign mints in the world, known for producing some of the highest-quality collector and bullion coins a

We carry this coin complete with its original presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity, as issued. The Brilliant Uncirculated designation reflects a coin that has been struck for collector purposes, handled under controlled conditions, and preserved in its original packaging without circulation.
The Perth Mint has been producing coins for over a century, originally established in 1899 as a branch of the British Royal Mint. Today it operates as one of the most respected sovereign mints in the world, known for producing some of the highest-quality collector and bullion coins available in the global market. Its reputation for precise strike quality, intricate color application, and consistent finishes has made it a natural home for officially licensed numismatic series.
The James Bond franchise, produced by Eon Productions and now spanning six decades, has served as the basis for an officially authorized coin program that the Perth Mint has brought to life with considerable attention to film-specific detail. The Dr. No release is the first chapter in that series, commemorating the 1962 film that introduced Sean Connery as Agent 007 and established the visual and narrative language of the franchise. Each coin in the program corresponds to a specific film, making the series a structured collector pursuit from the outset.
The reverse of this coin features a coloured design drawn directly from the imagery of Dr. No, the film that launched the Bond canon. The application of selective color adds depth and narrative immediacy to the scene, departing from the traditional monochromatic approach of most sovereign proof coins. The design is framed by identifying inscriptions that reference the film title and series context, along with the coin's metal specifications.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the standard portrait used on Tuvalu legal tender coinage issued prior to the transition following her passing in 2022. The juxtaposition of the formal royal portrait against the cinematic reverse design is characteristic of Perth Mint collector issues, blending sovereign legitimacy with pop-cultural subject matter. The proof finish across the non-coloured surfaces delivers sharp relief and mirror-like fields consistent with Perth Mint's production standards.
This coin is struck by the Perth Mint in .9999 fine silver, verified to one troy ounce, and produced under the quality control protocols that the Perth Mint applies across its entire collector coin program. The included Certificate of Authenticity provides an additional layer of documentation specific to this individual release. The coin's coloured finish is applied using a proprietary process that bonds the design elements permanently to the coin's surface without affecting the underlying metal content or weight.
We are authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, and every product we handle is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before fulfillment. For collectors who choose to pursue third-party grading on coins of this type, we can support that process through our relationships with both grading services.
This coin is listed as Brilliant Uncirculated, meaning it has never entered circulation and has been handled in a controlled environment from strike through packaging. Brilliant Uncirculated proof coins of this type differ from standard bullion in that their condition is tied directly to the integrity of the original packaging and the absence of contact damage to the coin's coloured and proof surfaces.
Each coin ships as originally issued, housed in its official Perth Mint presentation box with the corresponding Certificate of Authenticity enclosed. The box and COA are part of the product as listed, and the coin should remain in its original packaging to preserve both its presentation condition and its collectibility for potential future resale or grading.
Pricing for this coin reflects both the current spot price of silver and the premium associated with its collector-specific attributes. Perth Mint licensed collector issues carry premiums above standard bullion coins due to the cost of licensing, the quality of the coloured finish, the proof strike process, and the limited nature of the release. These premiums are a normal feature of the collector coin market and reflect the production value embedded in the coin beyond its raw metal content.
Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions. The bid and ask spread displayed on our product page provides a transparent picture of both the acquisition cost and the expected resale relationship, giving buyers a clearer view of the full cost of ownership rather than just the purchase price.
Collector coins tied to major licensed intellectual properties, particularly ones issued by the Perth Mint with a structured series format, tend to attract sustained demand from set collectors who pursue complete runs across multiple releases. The Dr. No coin, as the series opener, holds a position of particular relevance within the James Bond collection. Its recognizability among both silver buyers and franchise-focused numismatists broadens its potential resale audience compared to generic proof issues.
We operate a two-way market that supports buying and selling within the same platform. Customers considering resale can evaluate current buyback pricing through our marketplace before making a purchase decision, which we believe is the right way to approach any collector or bullion acquisition.
This coin occupies a specific and well-defined position in the collector market: it is the first coin in an officially licensed series produced by one of the world's most respected mints, tied to one of the most recognized entertainment franchises in history. That combination of Perth Mint production quality, official licensing, and series-opening significance makes it a meaningful acquisition for collectors who track these attributes carefully.
The coloured proof format also sets it apart from the standard bullion silver coins that make up most of the market. For buyers who want a finished, collectible product that arrives complete with its box and COA, this coin delivers on all of those criteria directly as listed.
We have been operating as a national precious metals marketplace since 2010, built around a straightforward principle: transparency earns trust, and trust is built over time. Our pricing is structured around real-time market conditions, and our two-way buying and selling model means customers can evaluate both sides of a transaction before committing. We do not operate as a high-pressure sales environment, and we do not obscure the costs associated with buying or selling precious metals.
We carry an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain memberships with both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we are positioned to support grading needs where applicable. For collectors purchasing a coin of this type, those credentials matter because they speak to accountability, authenticity standards, and long-term reliability. Every product we fulfill is verified before it reaches a customer, and our support team is accessible throughout the purchase and post-purchase process.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including collector-grade silver coins like this James Bond release. For buyers who are actively building a series or evaluating multiple Perth Mint collector issues side by side, Pro's product research tools allow for direct comparison of premiums, historical premium trends, and bid/ask spreads across products. That kind of objective, data-driven view is difficult to construct from standard retail listings alone.
Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving collectors a more accurate picture of what their holdings are worth at any given moment based on current market conditions. For anyone accumulating across a collector series, that real-time visibility adds meaningful clarity to both the buying process and ongoing portfolio management.
We support a broad range of payment methods so customers can complete purchases efficiently and securely. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each method is integrated into a secure transaction environment designed to protect buyer information from checkout through fulfillment.
Whether you prefer the convenience of a credit card, the directness of a wire transfer, or the flexibility of a digital currency payment, we have structured our payment options to accommodate the preferences of a wide range of buyers without introducing unnecessary friction into the process.
