History

Created by author Ian Fleming based on his own real-life adventures in the British intelligence services during World War 2, James Bond was in many ways one of the most powerfully archetypal action heroes of the Twentieth Century, achieving particular success in twenty-five outings on the silver screen. The Perth Mint’s James Bond Legacy is focused on celebrating the particular qualities that each of the six actors who portrayed him over the years brought to the iconic role. Roger Moore, the third actor to play the debonair super-spy, delivered him with both debonair charm and a lethal sense of humor, and currently hold the record for most screen outings as 007.
