2020 James Bond “Shaken Not Stirred” £100 1oz Gold Proof NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo
The 2020 James Bond “Shaken Not Stirred” £100 One Ounce Gold Proof is the third and final 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 one of Britain’s most internationally recognised fictional characters through three designs inspired by the world of 007.
The final “Shaken Not Stirred” design was created by Matt Dent and Christian Davies and features Bond’s unmistakable tuxedo alongside one of the most famous phrases associated with the character.
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:
348 sales
for James Bond Coin 3 – “Future” – 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 77 examples in PF70 Ultra Cameo, with none graded higher, making this an NGC Top Pop coin.
With a Maximum Coin Mintage of only 360, 348 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 producing a single commemorative design, The Royal Mint and designers Matt Dent and Christian Davies created an interconnected three-coin collection.
The three designs were:
Bond, James Bond
Pay Attention 007
Shaken Not Stirred
The Royal Mint’s own three-coin series material confirms that the collection was designed so that the individual coins formed part of a wider visual concept, with the third coin completing the series.
For the “Shaken Not Stirred” One Ounce Gold Proof specifically, The Royal Mint records:
Maximum Coin Mintage: 360
Limited Edition Presentation: 350
and subsequently:
Royal Mint Recorded Sales: 348
This particular example then adds:
NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo
NGC Population: 77
Higher: 0
NGC Top Pop
The combination of low original issue numbers, near-complete Royal Mint sales, one ounce of fine gold 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 “Shaken Not Stirred” One Ounce Gold Proof.
Of those, only:
350 coins
were allocated to the Limited Edition Presentation.
The Royal Mint’s subsequent 2020 sales data records:
348 sales
for the third James Bond One Ounce Gold Proof.
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 allocated to that particular collector presentation.
The 348 Royal Mint sales figure records the number subsequently sold under the relevant One Ounce Gold Proof product line.
The NGC population measures something different again: how many examples have currently been 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: 348
NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Population: 77
This gives a much clearer picture of the coin’s original issue and certified population than relying on any single figure alone.
⸻
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 deeply mirrored fields and frosted design elements associated with high-quality modern Proof coinage.
On the “Shaken Not Stirred” design, this contrast helps emphasise the tuxedo-inspired central design against the reflective Proof surfaces.
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: 77
Higher Grades: 0
NGC Top Pop
The NGC information supplied for this coin records 77 examples in PF70 Ultra Cameo.
PF70 is the highest numerical Proof grade available, making PF70 Ultra Cameo the Top Pop grade for this issue.
The original issue figures and NGC population measure different forms of scarcity.
The Maximum Coin Mintage of 360 relates to the maximum authorised issue.
The 348 Royal Mint sales figure relates to recorded sales.
The NGC population of 77 tells us how many examples have currently been certified by NGC at PF70 Ultra Cameo.
Population figures can 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”, featured the Aston Martin DB5.
The second, “Pay Attention 007”, featured the Lotus Esprit known as “Wet Nellie”.
The third and final design was:
“Shaken Not Stirred”
The Royal Mint’s contemporary series material confirms that collectors could acquire all three designs as a connected collection and that the third coin completed the series.
Each design explores a different element of the Bond identity, moving from the famous cars and technology associated with 007 to the sophisticated visual identity represented by Bond’s tuxedo.
The “Shaken Not Stirred” coin therefore occupies a specific position as the concluding design of the original Royal Mint James Bond collection.
⸻
The “Shaken Not Stirred” Design
The reverse was created by Matt Dent and Christian Davies.
Rather than creating a conventional character portrait, the designers represented James Bond through one of his most recognisable visual signatures:
the tuxedo.
The Royal Mint describes the coin as featuring Bond in a tuxedo together with a classic quotation from the films.
The words:
SHAKEN NOT STIRRED
reference Bond’s famous preference for his martini.
The design is deliberately minimalist, using familiar visual and textual elements to identify the character without relying upon the likeness of a particular actor.
It gives the final coin a distinctive appearance while completing the broader visual story developed across the three-coin series.
⸻
Matt Dent and Christian Davies
The original James Bond collection was created by designers Matt Dent and Christian Davies.
Their work extended across all three designs, allowing the collection to function as a coherent series rather than three unrelated commemoratives.
The Royal Mint confirms Matt Dent and Christian Davies as the reverse designers of all three 2020 Bond designs:
Bond, James Bond
Pay Attention 007
Shaken Not Stirred.
This continuity of design is particularly important for collectors assembling the complete original Bond series.
⸻
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 the “Shaken Not Stirred” 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 the official royal inscription.
The pairing places an internationally recognised fictional British character on the reverse opposite the definitive portrait of Britain’s monarch at the time of issue.
⸻
Struck in One Ounce of 999.9 Fine Gold
The “Shaken Not Stirred” One Ounce Gold Proof is struck in:
999.9 Fine Gold
The Royal Mint specifies a total weight of:
31.21g
and 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
The use of one ounce of high-purity gold gives the coin substantial intrinsic precious-metal content alongside its numismatic and cultural characteristics.
⸻
Proof Coin Versus Other James Bond Issues
The James Bond designs were produced across several different formats and metals.
This coin is specifically the:
£100 One Ounce Gold Proof
and should not be confused with the more widely produced Brilliant Uncirculated or Silver Proof versions carrying the same “Shaken Not Stirred” theme.
For comparison, The Royal Mint’s final sales figures record 25,754 Brilliant Uncirculated “Future” coins, compared with just 348 One Ounce Gold Proof sales.
Proof coins are produced specifically for collectors using carefully prepared dies and blanks to create sharply defined detail and reflective surfaces.
Its:
Maximum Coin Mintage of 360
Limited Edition Presentation of 350
Royal Mint recorded sales of 348
and NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo population of 77
give this particular example a clear numismatic dimension beyond its underlying one ounce of gold.
⸻
A Modern British Numismatic Gold Coin
The 2020 James Bond “Shaken Not Stirred” One Ounce Gold Proof brings together several particularly desirable characteristics:
- Third and final design in The Royal Mint’s original James Bond collection
- Officially licensed James Bond issue
- Maximum Coin Mintage of just 360
- Limited Edition Presentation of 350
- Only 348 sales recorded by The Royal Mint
- One ounce of 999.9 fine gold
- Matt Dent and Christian Davies reverse design
- Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II
- NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo certification
- NGC population of 77 at PF70 Ultra Cameo
- No higher numerical grade
- NGC Top Pop status
The combination of British popular culture, precious-metal content, restricted original issue and highest-grade NGC certification gives this coin appeal beyond its intrinsic gold value.
With only 360 permitted under the Maximum Coin Mintage, 348 recorded Royal Mint sales and 77 examples certified NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo at the time of checking, this is a highly collectable certified example from The Royal Mint’s original James Bond series.
