    What do people think on this coin? Following on from Alice in Wonderland design?

    This innovative coin is the perfect gift for those interested in navigation and a unique addition to any collection.

    99.9% Pure Silver

    The coin is struck from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver.

    Innovative Design Featuring a Compass

    The reverse of this antiqued silver coin features an interpretation of an ancient world map with mythical sea creatures included in the design as well as The Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mintmark. A golden coloured compass with a beautifully engraved rim is set into the middle of the coin. The compass moves but is only decorative and not reliable for use.

    Tuvalu Legal Tender

    The coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu and features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination, and the 2017 year-date on the coin's obverse. The obverse also includes a decorative border that circles the back of the compass, which features a star pattern.

    Limited Mintage

    No more than 2,500 of the Compass 2017 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin will be released by The Perth Mint.

    Presentation Packaging and Numbered Certificate

    Each coin is presented in a classic grey Perth Mint case and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

    That is definitely an interesting piece. Narrow market though I would say.

    You are only buying it for its personal attraction, not as an investment.
