1 oz Bond of the 00's Gold Coin 2025 — franchise restart with Daniel Craig
1 troy ounce of pure 999.9/1000 gold, struck by The Royal Mint. Fourth installment of the "Bond Decades" collection. The 00's issue celebrates the era of Daniel Craig as the sixth official 007 (2006-2021) — the boldest franchise restart in its history. Casino Royale (2006) broke from the light, gadget-heavy Brosnan formula and introduced a "darker, more brutal" Bond in a prequel timeline (Bond starts his 00 career). The Craig era grossed over 4 billion USD globally and ended the classic franchise mythology in No Time to Die (2021).
Obverse — portrait of King Charles III
The obverse depicts the portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings (official monarch portrait since 2022). Legal tender status in the UK.
Reverse — symbols of 00s Bond
The reverse depicts stylized symbols of the Daniel Craig films: the distinctive shooting silhouette, the classic Aston Martin DBS V12 (Casino Royale), poker chips, and titles of the five films of the 00s era: Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015) and No Time to Die (2021).

Cultural context — why the Craig era changed the franchise
The Daniel Craig era (2006-2021) is the boldest Bond reinvention since 1962. After Brosnan's contract ended (Die Another Day, 2002), EON producers had to respond to the success of "Bourne Identity" (2002) and "Bourne Supremacy" (2004), which redefined action cinema as "darker, grittier, more realistic". Casino Royale (2006) — the first full adaptation of Ian Fleming's debut novel from 1953 — introduced Bond as a prequel timeline ("watch how he became 007"), with deeper psychological characterization, brutal hand-to-hand combat, and Bond's first significant love (Vesper Lynd). Skyfall (2012, dir. Sam Mendes) broke the 1 billion USD global box-office record. No Time to Die (2021) ended the Craig era in one of the boldest series endings — with a real death of the Bond character, something no previous era had risked.
