Transformers 3-Bumblebee Silver proof

Perth Mint has recently released a Transformers 3-Bumblebee Silver proof coin. I think this is the most anticipated movie of the year, "Transformers: The Dark of the Moon" will hit screens on 29 June 2011. For Megan Fox fan, she will be replaced by another hot girl, Victoria Secret Model, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. But for Bumblebee fan, the robot will be back in the movie. Sent to Earth ahead of the other Autobots, Bumblebee served as both scout and protector of Sam Witwicky. Bumblebee is an expert at infiltration and observation, and what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in spark. Optimus Prime and the Autobots know they can always count on Bumblebee to fight for the heroic ideals of freedom and justice.


The coin’s reverse features a coloured depiction of Bumblebee and includes the Autobot logo. The design also features the inscription TRANSFORMERS and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.


Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the coin’s obverse depicts the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the 2011 year-date.
