Silver Coin The Perth Mint: Dune Colored 2 oz Silver 2026 Antiqued
The Perth Mint Silver Coin: Dune Colored 2 oz Silver 2026 Antiqued is a striking collector’s issue inspired by the iconic “Dune” universe. The coin was struck by the renowned Australian mint The Perth Mint from 2 ounces of pure Ag 9999 silver. The Antiqued finish gives the design an aged appearance and perfectly highlights the relief details and the futuristic style of the issue.
The design is inspired by the world of Arrakis – a desert planet known for its monumental sandworms, one of the most recognizable symbols of the “Dune” series. Sandworms command respect with their enormous size and destructive power, and their presence plays a key role in the story of the universe created by Frank Herbert. Thanks to the combination of colorization and high-quality relief, the coin presents an exceptionally dynamic and realistic scene.
The piece has a limited mintage of only 1,000 worldwide, which significantly enhances its collector appeal. The coin is housed in an elegant protective case, making it ideal for both display and storage. The combination of science fiction themes, high-purity silver, and the prestige of The Perth Mint makes this issue an exceptional choice for collectors and fans of the “Dune” series.
Obverse features the effigy of King Charles III along with the face value of 2 Dollars, the issuing country designation – Tuvalu – and the year of issue, 2026.
Reverse depicts a colored image of the legendary desert worm – the sandworm – shown from the front with its mouth wide open in the desert landscape of Arrakis. The background with a colored sky emphasizes the spectacular nature of the design, while the inscription “SCOURGE OF THE DESERT SEA” completes the composition.
Note! The coin features a distinctive Antiqued-style rim finish, visible in the form of darker, irregular patina and subtle tonal variations on the edge surface. This effect is not a product defect, but an intentional stylistic element that gives the coin an aged, raw, and more collectible character.
