The Coin Company is proud to present Games Through The Ages 2022 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin, produced by the Perth Mint.
The coin portrays game-related motifs within a ring of circles. Clockwise from the top, they symbolise playing cards, dominoes, a spinning dice, chess, snakes and ladders, terni lapilli, mahjong, draughts (or checkers), knucklebones, backgammon, and dice. Also included on the reverse is a background pattern and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
The coin’s centre features a 24-carat plated stainless steel insert representing noughts and crosses, also known as tic tac toe, a ‘three-in-a-row’ game believed to have evolved from the ancient Roman game of terni lapilli (three pebbles).
The coin’s obverse portrays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Also on the obverse is a stylised circular pattern and inscriptions of the coin’s weight, purity, monetary denomination and year-date.
