Description
2020 James Bond “Pay Attention 007” £100 1oz Gold Proof NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo
The 2020 James Bond “Pay Attention 007” £100 One Ounce Gold Proof is the second design in The Royal Mint’s original three-coin James Bond collection.
Officially licensed and produced in partnership with EON Productions Limited and Danjaq, the collection celebrated the world of 007 through three interconnected designs created by Matt Dent and Christian Davies.
The “Pay Attention 007” design focuses on the extraordinary technology and gadgets associated with James Bond and features one of the most recognisable vehicles from the films – the Lotus Esprit S1 submarine car, better known as “Wet Nellie”.
The Royal Mint confirms a Maximum Coin Mintage of just 360, with only 350 coins available in the Limited Edition Presentation.
Its subsequently published 2020 sales figures record:
346 sales
for James Bond Coin 2 – “Past” – in the One Ounce Gold Proof format.
This particular example has been independently authenticated and certified by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as PF70 Ultra Cameo, the highest numerical Proof grade.
At the time of checking on 15 August 2026, the NGC information supplied for this coin records 66 examples in PF70 Ultra Cameo, with none graded higher, making this an NGC Top Pop coin.
With a Maximum Coin Mintage of only 360, 346 recorded Royal Mint sales, one ounce of 999.9 fine gold and PF70 Ultra Cameo certification, this is a highly collectable certified example from The Royal Mint’s original James Bond series.
⸻
Why This Coin Stands Out
The 2020 James Bond collection marked the first time The Royal Mint celebrated James Bond on UK coinage.
Rather than creating a single commemorative coin, The Royal Mint released three connected designs exploring different elements of the world of 007.
The three designs were:
Bond, James Bond
Pay Attention 007
Shaken Not Stirred
“Pay Attention 007” occupies the central position within the trilogy and explores the technology and innovations that have become synonymous with Bond.
At its centre is Wet Nellie, the modified Lotus Esprit S1 that famously transforms into a submarine in The Spy Who Loved Me.
The Royal Mint specifically describes the coin as featuring “Wet Nellie – the ultimate Bond gadget” and confirms the design was created by Matt Dent and Christian Davies.
For this One Ounce Gold Proof specifically:
Maximum Coin Mintage: 360
Limited Edition Presentation: 350
Royal Mint Recorded Sales: 346
This particular example then adds:
NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo
NGC Population: 66
Higher: 0
NGC Top Pop
The combination of a very small original issue, one ounce of fine gold, iconic Bond subject matter and highest-grade NGC certification gives this coin a clear numismatic dimension beyond its underlying precious-metal content.

A Maximum Coin Mintage of Just 360
The Royal Mint officially records a:
Maximum Coin Mintage: 360
for the 2020 “Pay Attention 007” One Ounce Gold Proof.
Of those, only:
350 coins
were available in the Limited Edition Presentation.
The Royal Mint’s subsequently published 2020 sales data records:
346 sales
for James Bond Coin 2 – “Past” – in the One Ounce Gold Proof format.
These figures represent different measures and should not be confused.
The Maximum Coin Mintage of 360 establishes the maximum number permitted for the issue.
The Limited Edition Presentation of 350 establishes how many were available in that particular collector presentation.
The 346 Royal Mint sales figure records sales under the relevant One Ounce Gold Proof product line.
The NGC population measures something different again: the number of examples currently certified by NGC at a particular grade.
For this coin, the key figures are therefore:
Maximum Coin Mintage: 360
Limited Edition Presentation: 350
Royal Mint Recorded Sales: 346
NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Population: 66
This distinction gives collectors a much clearer picture of the coin’s original issue and subsequent certified population.
⸻
Why NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Matters
This example has been independently authenticated, encapsulated and graded by Numismatic Guaranty Company as:
PF70 Ultra Cameo
PF70 represents the highest numerical Proof grade on NGC’s grading scale.
The Ultra Cameo designation recognises the pronounced contrast between the coin’s mirrored fields and frosted design elements.
On the “Pay Attention 007” design, that Proof contrast is particularly effective because of the geometric 007 motif and detailed representation of Wet Nellie.
For collectors seeking modern Royal Mint Proof coins in the highest certified grade, PF70 Ultra Cameo represents the top numerical level available.
⸻
NGC Population
At the time of checking on 15 August 2026:
NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo: 66
Higher Grades: 0
NGC Top Pop
The NGC verification information supplied for this coin records 66 examples in PF70 Ultra Cameo.
PF70 is the highest numerical Proof grade available, making PF70 Ultra Cameo the Top Pop grade for this issue.
This means that of a Maximum Coin Mintage of only 360, just 66 examples are currently recorded by NGC at PF70 Ultra Cameo.
Importantly, this does not mean only 66 PF70 examples exist across all grading companies; it specifically represents NGC’s certified population.
Population figures can also change as additional coins are submitted for certification, which is why Sterling Bullion Partners records the date on which each population figure is checked.

The Original James Bond Three-Coin Collection
The Royal Mint launched its original James Bond collection in 2020 as a sequence of three interconnected designs.
The first coin:
Bond, James Bond
features the Aston Martin DB5.
The second:
Pay Attention 007
focuses on Bond’s technological world and features Wet Nellie.
The third:
Shaken Not Stirred
completed the collection.
The three coins were designed by Matt Dent and Christian Davies to work individually while also forming part of a larger connected design.
“Pay Attention 007” therefore occupies the central position within the original Royal Mint James Bond trilogy.
⸻
“Pay Attention 007” and Wet Nellie
The centrepiece of the design is one of the most extraordinary vehicles in James Bond history.
Wet Nellie is the nickname given to the specially constructed submarine car inspired by the Lotus Esprit S1 featured in the 1977 Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.
In the film, Bond drives the Esprit from a road into the sea, where it transforms into a fully equipped underwater vehicle.
The scene became one of the most memorable gadget sequences of the Roger Moore era.
The Royal Mint deliberately chose Wet Nellie to represent the technology and innovation of Bond’s world, describing it as the “ultimate Bond gadget”.
The vehicle is incorporated into the distinctive 007 motif, while the words:
PAY ATTENTION 007
appear beneath the design.
The phrase evokes the exchanges between Bond and Q during the presentation of the remarkable gadgets developed for his missions.
⸻
The Technology of James Bond
Technology has been central to the James Bond films for decades.
From concealed weapons and modified watches to extraordinary cars, surveillance equipment and underwater vehicles, Bond’s gadgets became an integral part of the franchise.
The second Royal Mint Bond coin was specifically designed around this aspect of the character.
The Royal Mint’s original presentation included a booklet exploring the technology of Bond’s world, reinforcing the theme represented by Wet Nellie on the reverse.
This distinguishes “Pay Attention 007” from the other two coins in the collection.
Rather than focusing principally on Bond himself, it celebrates the extraordinary technology that helped define the cinematic world surrounding 007.
⸻
Matt Dent and Christian Davies
The reverse was designed by Matt Dent and Christian Davies.
The pair created all three designs in the original 2020 Royal Mint James Bond collection, allowing the individual coins to function as parts of one coherent visual concept.
For “Pay Attention 007”, they combined:
Wet Nellie
with the instantly recognisable:
007
device.
The result connects one of Bond’s most famous vehicles directly with the visual identity of the franchise.
The Royal Mint officially identifies Matt Dent and Christian Davies as the reverse designers.
⸻
The Queen Elizabeth II Obverse
The obverse carries Jody Clark’s fifth definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Royal Mint confirms Jody Clark as the obverse designer for this One Ounce Gold Proof.
Clark’s portrait was introduced to British coinage in 2015 and remained the definitive UK coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II until the end of her reign.
The obverse also carries the coin’s:
£100 denomination
and official royal inscription.
This makes the coin part of the final era of British coinage carrying the fifth and last definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
⸻
Struck in One Ounce of 999.9 Fine Gold
The “Pay Attention 007” One Ounce Gold Proof is struck in:
999.9 Fine Gold
The Royal Mint specifies a total weight of:
31.21g
and a diameter of:
32.69mm.
The coin therefore contains approximately:
1 troy ounce of fine gold
Its principal Royal Mint specifications are:
Metal: Gold
Fineness: 999.9 Fine Gold
Weight: 31.21g
Fine Gold Content: approximately 1 troy oz
Diameter: 32.69mm
Quality: Proof
Edge: Milled
Denomination: £100
Maximum Coin Mintage: 360
Its precious-metal content provides substantial intrinsic gold value alongside its numismatic characteristics.
⸻
Proof Coin Versus Other James Bond Issues
The “Pay Attention 007” design was issued across several metals, sizes and finishes.
This particular coin is specifically the:
£100 One Ounce Gold Proof
and should not be confused with the more widely produced Brilliant Uncirculated and Silver Proof versions carrying the same Bond theme.
The Royal Mint’s final sales figures show the scale of the difference.
For James Bond Coin 2 – “Past” – it records:
25,764 Brilliant Uncirculated coins
compared with:
346 One Ounce Gold Proof coins
in the relevant standard product lines.
The One Ounce Gold Proof therefore represents a substantially smaller original issue within the wider James Bond programme.
Its:
Maximum Coin Mintage of 360
Limited Edition Presentation of 350
Royal Mint Recorded Sales of 346
and NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo population of 66
give this particular certified example a clear numismatic dimension beyond its underlying gold content.
⸻
The Three One Ounce Gold Proof Coins
One of the most interesting aspects of the collection is how closely matched the three One Ounce Gold Proof issues are.
The Royal Mint records:
Coin 1 – “Present” / Bond, James Bond: 348 sales
Coin 2 – “Past” / Pay Attention 007: 346 sales
Coin 3 – “Future” / Shaken Not Stirred: 348 sales.
All three One Ounce Gold Proof coins had a Maximum Coin Mintage of 360 and Limited Edition Presentation of 350.
That makes the complete three-coin One Ounce Gold Proof series particularly interesting from a collector’s perspective.
“Pay Attention 007” also has the lowest recorded Royal Mint sales figure of the three at 346.
⸻
A Modern British Numismatic Gold Coin
The 2020 James Bond “Pay Attention 007” One Ounce Gold Proof brings together several desirable characteristics:
- Second design in The Royal Mint’s original James Bond collection
