Set more than 20,000 years into the future, Dune centres around the sought after, immensely important substance melange (called ‘the spice’), and control of its production on the planet Arrakis. Known colloquially as ‘Dune’, the desert planet of Arrakis is the exclusive source of melange, where deposits of the substance are guarded by giant sandworms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFrank Herbert’s novel was followed by several sequels – and prequels – and ultimately inspired a film (1984), a mini-series, video games and more. In 2021, the first of a 3-part movie series was launched, followed by a second instalment in 2024. The two films garnered eight Academy Awards between them, and sci-fi fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating the third and final instalment, to be released in December 2026. Naturally enough, Dune has a legion of fans worldwide – and they will all want this official tribute!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStruck by Australia’s precious metal specialists, the Perth Mint, this officially licensed Dune product is crafted from one gram of pure, glittering 99.99% gold.
