James Bond 2024 $1 Daniel Craig 1oz Coloured Silver Proof Coin

Daniel Craig was the sixth actor to play fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond on the big screen. A graduate of the National Youth Theatre and Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Craig enjoyed a succession of acclaimed stage and screen appearances before he was approached to play Bond in 2005. Identified for his powerful charisma, exceptional versatility, and rugged looks, the classically trained actor was presented with an opportunity to redefine the male hero in the 21st century, he set out to add emotional depth to the famous character.

While delivering typically explosive action, Casino Royale, the first of Craig’s five Bond movies, showed 007 as a more introspective individual whose thoughts and actions were shaped by his past. Revealing Bond’s inner self, the pivotal movie set the tone for Craig’s portrayals in four more extraordinary films. A supporter of many charitable and humanitarian causes, Daniel Craig was appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George for services to film and theatre in 2022.
