Description
2020 James Bond “Shaken Not Stirred” £200 Two-Ounce Gold Proof
The 2020 James Bond “Shaken Not Stirred” £200 Two-Ounce Gold Proof is the third and final design in The Royal Mint’s original three-coin James Bond collection.
Struck in two troy ounces of 999.9 fine gold, this premium-format Proof had an exceptionally small Maximum Coin Mintage of just 260 coins worldwide, with only 250 available in the Limited Edition Presentation.
The reverse, designed by Matt Dent and Christian Davies, celebrates one of the most recognisable elements of James Bond’s identity: his tuxedo.
But this Two-Ounce Gold Proof contains another important detail.
Within the iconic 007 motif is micro-text containing the titles of the first 25 James Bond films. The Royal Mint specifically states that this feature appears only on the Inspired Innovation coins.
The coin was produced as an officially licensed James Bond product in partnership with EON Productions Limited and Danjaq.
This particular example has subsequently been independently authenticated and certified by NGC as:
PF70 Ultra Cameo
At the time of checking on 15 August 2026, NGC records:
89 examples in PF70 Ultra Cameo
0 in higher grades
making PF70 Ultra Cameo the NGC Top Pop grade.
With only 260 coins permitted across the entire issue, two ounces of fine gold and highest-grade NGC certification, this represents one of the most exclusive gold formats within The Royal Mint’s original 2020 James Bond collection.
⸻
Why This Coin Stands Out
Several characteristics distinguish this coin from the more widely encountered James Bond issues.
First is its size.
This is not the One-Ounce £100 Gold Proof.
It is the significantly larger:
£200 Two-Ounce Gold Proof
containing approximately two full troy ounces of 999.9 fine gold.
Second is its exceptionally restricted original issue.
The Royal Mint confirms:
Maximum Coin Mintage: 260
Limited Edition Presentation: 250
Third is the special micro-text incorporated into the design.
The first 25 James Bond film titles appear within the 007 motif, and The Royal Mint identifies this as a feature exclusive to the Inspired Innovation versions of the coins.
Finally, this example has achieved:
NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo
with:
NGC Population: 89
Higher: 0
Top Pop
It therefore combines a very small original issue, substantial fine-gold content, a specialised version of the Bond design and the highest numerical Proof grade awarded by NGC.

A Maximum Coin Mintage of Just 260
One of the most significant characteristics of this coin is its extremely small original issue.
The Royal Mint records a:
Maximum Coin Mintage of just 260 coins
for the Two-Ounce Gold Proof.
Of those:
250
were available in the Limited Edition Presentation.
The distinction between these figures is important.
The Maximum Coin Mintage represents the maximum number permitted across the issue, while the Limited Edition Presentation relates specifically to the number offered in that individual collector presentation.
This means that even before grading is considered, no more than 260 examples could exist under the stated Maximum Coin Mintage.
The certified population then measures something entirely different: how many examples have subsequently been submitted to and certified by a particular grading company at a given grade.
For this example:
Maximum Coin Mintage: 260
Limited Edition Presentation: 250
NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Population: 89
Higher: 0
That combination makes the distinction between original issue rarity and certified-grade population particularly clear.
⸻
Why NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Matters
This example has been independently authenticated and graded by Numismatic Guaranty Company as:
PF70 Ultra Cameo
PF70 is the highest numerical Proof grade available on NGC’s 70-point grading scale.
The Ultra Cameo designation recognises the strong visual contrast produced between deeply mirrored fields and heavily frosted design elements.
That distinction is particularly effective on this coin because of the contrast between the polished field and the geometric representation of Bond’s tuxedo.
There is no PF71.
Consequently, a coin graded PF70 has achieved the highest numerical grade available.
⸻
NGC Population
The NGC certification information supplied for this coin was checked on 15 August 2026.
At that point NGC records:
PF70 Ultra Cameo: 89
Higher Grades: 0
NGC Top Pop
Therefore, of a Maximum Coin Mintage of only 260, just 89 examples are presently recorded by NGC at PF70 Ultra Cameo.
That does not mean only 89 PF70 examples exist worldwide across all grading companies.
It specifically represents the NGC population for this classification.
Population figures can change as additional coins are submitted for grading, which is why Sterling Bullion Partners records the date on which the population was checked.

The Original James Bond Three-Coin Collection
The Royal Mint’s original James Bond collection consisted of three interconnected designs created by Matt Dent and Christian Davies.
The series progressed through:
Bond, James Bond
Pay Attention 007
Shaken Not Stirred
When viewed together, the three designs form the familiar 007 motif.
“Shaken Not Stirred” was the third and final instalment, completing the visual concept established across the collection.
This Two-Ounce Gold Proof represents the premium two-ounce format of that concluding design.
⸻
The “Shaken Not Stirred” Design
Few phrases are as closely associated with James Bond as:
“Shaken, not stirred.”
For the final design, Matt Dent and Christian Davies turned to another equally recognisable aspect of Bond’s visual identity – the dinner jacket.
The reverse features Bond’s tuxedo, integrated into the wider geometric composition of the series.
The phrase:
SHAKEN NOT STIRRED
appears beneath the design.
The result provides a deliberately restrained conclusion to the trilogy, using instantly recognisable Bond iconography rather than a conventional portrait of the fictional secret agent.
The Royal Mint directly identifies Bond’s tuxedo as the central subject of the design.
⸻
The Hidden James Bond Film Titles
One of the most fascinating details of this particular format is extremely difficult to appreciate without examining the coin closely.
Within the 007 motif, The Royal Mint incorporated micro-text.
That micro-text contains the titles of the first 25 James Bond films.
This was not simply applied indiscriminately to every version of the coin.
The Royal Mint states that the micro-text feature:
“only appears on the Inspired Innovation coins.”
This makes the detail particularly relevant when describing the premium Two-Ounce Gold Proof.
The feature rewards close inspection and provides another layer to Matt Dent and Christian Davies’ interconnected design.
⸻
Collect All Three to Reveal the Hidden Title
The three coins were conceived as parts of a larger design rather than simply three unrelated Bond commemoratives.
When the designs are brought together, they reveal the familiar 007 motif.
The Royal Mint also describes a hidden-title element running through the collection and specifically encourages collectors to bring all three coins together to reveal it.
That interconnected design gives each individual coin a role within the complete trilogy.
As Shaken Not Stirred is Coin Three, it represents the final component required to complete the original design.
⸻
Matt Dent and Christian Davies
The reverse was created by designers:
Matt Dent and Christian Davies
The pair developed the complete visual language of The Royal Mint’s original three-coin James Bond collection.
Rather than treating each release as an isolated commemorative design, they created artwork capable of working both independently and as part of the wider three-coin concept.
For “Shaken Not Stirred”, Bond’s tuxedo provides the dominant imagery, while the micro-text and 007 motif provide additional detail at close range.
The Royal Mint officially identifies Dent and Davies as the reverse designers.
⸻
The Queen Elizabeth II Obverse
The obverse carries Jody Clark’s fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
Clark’s portrait was introduced to British circulating coinage in 2015 and became the final definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.
The Royal Mint identifies Jody Clark as the obverse designer of the Two-Ounce Gold Proof.
The obverse also carries the coin’s substantial:
£200 denomination
confirming its status as an official UK denominated coin issued by The Royal Mint.
⸻
Two Troy Ounces of 999.9 Fine Gold
This is one of the most substantial gold formats within the original James Bond collection.
The Royal Mint confirms:
Alloy: 999.9 Fine Gold
Weight: 62.42g
Diameter: 40.00mm
Quality: Proof
The coin therefore contains approximately:
2 troy ounces of fine gold
This gives the coin significant intrinsic precious-metal content alongside its numismatic characteristics.
At 40mm in diameter, the larger format also provides considerably more surface area for the design than the One-Ounce version, allowing the micro-text and geometric detailing to be appreciated more fully.
⸻
Two-Ounce Gold Proof Versus the One-Ounce Version
This distinction is particularly important because both coins use the same “Shaken Not Stirred” design.
The One-Ounce Gold Proof is:
£100 denomination
whereas this coin is:
£200 denomination
The Two-Ounce version weighs:
62.42g
and has a diameter of:
40mm.
Most importantly from a scarcity perspective, the Two-Ounce Gold Proof had a Maximum Coin Mintage of only:
260
with:
250 Limited Edition Presentations.
This is therefore not simply a larger example of the £100 coin.
It represents a separate Royal Mint issue with its own denomination, specifications and substantially restricted maximum mintage.
⸻
An Officially Licensed James Bond Coin
This was not an unofficial tribute or privately produced Bond-themed issue.
The Royal Mint confirms that the coin was an:
official licensed product
produced in partnership with:
EON Productions Limited and Danjaq.
Those organisations sit at the centre of the James Bond film franchise.
That official relationship allowed The Royal Mint to incorporate authentic Bond imagery, the 007 identity and references to the films into an official British commemorative coin.
⸻
A Modern British Numismatic Gold Coin
The 2020 James Bond “Shaken Not Stirred” Two-Ounce Gold Proof brings together a particularly strong combination of attributes:
- Third and final design in The Royal Mint’s original James Bond trilogy
- £200 UK denomination
- Maximum Coin Mintage of only 260
- Limited Edition Presentation of 250
- Two troy ounces of 999.9 fine gold
- 62.42g total weight
- Large 40mm diameter
- Bond’s iconic tuxedo reverse
- Micro-text containing the first 25 James Bond film titles
- Special Inspired Innovation design feature
- Matt Dent and Christian Davies reverse
- Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II
- Official EON Productions and Danjaq licensed issue
- NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo
- NGC population of 89
- None graded higher
- NGC Top Pop
The combination of a 260 Maximum Coin Mintage, substantial two-ounce gold format and PF70 Ultra Cameo certification makes this a markedly different proposition from the more frequently encountered James Bond commemorative issues.
