Transformers: Age of Extinction 2014 1oz Silver Proof Lenticular Coins
Four million years ago on the planet Cybertron, emotional and perceptive robots with the ability to think and feel, known as 'Transformers', inhabited the planet. This highly intelligent race of 'robots in disguise' was divided into two opposing groups, the heroic and admirable Autobots, and the evil Decepticons. The highly anticipated sci-fi movie, Transformers: Age of Extinction, is the fourth instalment in Steven Spielberg's movie franchise and is set to hit screens this month - 30 years after these robots first captured our imagination in 1984. The Perth Mint is proud to present three silver lenticular coloured commemoratives, portraying the iconic Transformers, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Lockdown. These limited edition rectangular collectables are a must-have for any die-hard fan. With the use of lenticular lenses, the reverse of the Optimus Prime coin features a coloured image of the Optimus Prime robot morphing into a semi-truck, while the Bumblebee coin features a coloured image of the Bumblebee robot morphing into a yellow Chevrolet Camaro. The Lockdown coin's reverse features a coloured image of the Lockdown robot morphing into a Supercar.
