James Bond was created by former intelligence officer and author Ian Fleming in 1953. The daring spy featured in 12 novels and two short-story collections before appearing in one of the world's most successful film franchises.

British actor Timothy Dalton took on the British Secret Service Agent role in 1987 and appeared in two different movies during his tenure as James Bond: The Living Daylights (1987) and Licence to Kill (1989). Dalton set himself apart from the other Bond actors by bringing a harder edge to Bond and was more self-conscious of some of the character's foibles and vices, without every other character taking him to task over it. One of the more impressive aspects of Dalton's performance is that he did most of his stunts.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
