Decades of Bond £5 Series
We’re 1 coin away from completing the Decades of Bond £5 coin series, with the final coin still to be released. Each coin in this series celebrates a decade of James Bond films, with iconic imagery from the movies and the film titles from each era repeated in the background.
So far, we’ve seen coins celebrating Bond films of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and 2010s.
When you consider the huge popularity of the ‘B’ A-Z 10p which was dedicated to James Bond and the 2020 Bond £5 series, there’s no doubt that this theme is loved within the collecting community.
The final coin in the Decades of Bond £5 series will feature six iconic vehicles from James Bond films over the last six decades, accompanied by the inscriptions “007” and “SIX DECADES OF 007″.

Rachel. I am a modest collector of approx 8 years. I am more than a little concerned that coinage designs are nothing new just a change of date and Crown Head Elizabeth 2 / King Charles 3.
Adding up the collection ‘face value’ against ‘400% purchase price paid’ I do wonder if it is worth continued collection as I will have to keep coins til 2150 to break even. Is it the intention to have ‘Dinosaurs’ issued annually as with the Snowman?
Regards
Hi there, whilst it does seem strange that their face value is only £3.88, owning the New UK Coins in Change Checker packaging is the most affordable way to secure them for your collection.
You’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for more details about the Dinosaur 50ps!
Kind regards, Kate
