A masterpiece of maritime art, celebrating what is rightly considered to be one of the ‘Great American Novels’, we are delighted to present the Moby Dick 2026 $5 2oz Silver Black Proof Coin!

Telling the story of sea captain Ahab, and his fanatical pursuit of a giant white whale who had bitten off his leg on a previous voyage, Herman Melville’s Moby Dick is a true classic of American literature. Although only gaining significant recognition long after Melville’s death, this pivotal work has been adapted for books, TV, the silver screen, cartoons and comic strips. Influencing generations of writers, artists and musicians, among others, it has been described as a pinnacle of American Romanticism, a true cultural icon and, notably, by D.H. Lawrence as "the greatest book of the sea ever written.

Issued to coincide with the 175th anniversary of the first publication of the book, in October 1851, the Moby Dick 2026 $5 2oz Silver Black Proof forms a truly compelling tribute to this famous work. Crafted from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver, the broad 55mm flan forms the consummate canvas for the powerful portrayal of the maniacal hunter Ahab, and his foe, Moby Dick. Superbly struck, with the design defined by razor-sharp detail, the use of a Black Proof finish captures the essence of Melville’s dark, complex novel.

Enthralling literally millions of people around the globe, Moby Dick is undoubtedly one of the most popular novels of all time. With this in mind, we anticipate that the 299-coin mintage of this inspired tribute will be washed away by a tidal wave of demand.
