Samurai 2010 | TV$1 Tuvalu | 1oz Fine Silver Coin
The Perth Mint’s celebrated Great Warriors series reaches its dramatic conclusion with the 2010 Samurai release. Samurai armor and blades were not merely military equipment; they were regarded as unique works of art imbued with a soul or “chi.” The coin’s reverse design captures the fierce warrior spirit of the Samurai, embodying their strict ethical code of bushido—a philosophy centered on honor, discipline, and unwavering loyalty.
Struck from 1 oz (31.1035g) of .999 pure silver, this colored proof coin features vibrant artistry by Wade Robinson. Issued as legal tender under the authority of Tuvalu, the obverse displays the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Measuring 40.60 mm in diameter, the coin is a limited-mintage collector’s piece, with only 5,000 units produced worldwide. Each coin is housed in a professional presentation display case and includes a numbered certificate of authenticity, marking a prestigious end to one of the Perth Mint’s most iconic series.
