Optimus Prime and Megatron - Transformers Silver Proof Coins from Australia
Issued by the Perth Mint as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the 2009 Transformers silver proof coins feature two robot characters: MEGATRON, the evil leader of the DECEPTICONS, and OPTIMUS PRIME, the leader of the AUTOBOTS, a faction of heroic Transformers. Produced in collaboration with Dreamworks, Paramount and Hasbro, both coins incorporate the inscription TRANSFORMERS and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Based on a popular 1980s TV series, Transformers attracts audiences ranging from teens to those who enjoyed the small-screen version. The Transformers come from the planet Cybertron and are able to "transform", rearranging their bodies into common or innocuous forms, including vehicles, devices or animals.
