Cutty Sark Ships That Changed The World Proof Silver Coin 1$ Tuvalu 2012

   The Perth Mint of Australia has recently issued the fifth and final silver coin of the Ships That Changed the World Series. The silver coin honors the Cutty Sark, the last surviving tea clipper as well as the fastest and greatest of her time.

  Shown on the obverse of the Tuvalu silver coin, there is the portrait of Her Majesty Elizabeth II. Along the rim of the coin, there are the inscriptions indicating the Queen’s name, the face value of the coin, the name of the issuing country as well as the issuing year.

   The reverse design features the image of the famous clipper ship with her sails unfurled against the background of blue water and a colored globe map. The Cutty Sark was once the most famous of the great clippers, its unusual name taken from a poem by Robert Burns called ‘Tam O’Shanter.’ She was launched at Dumbarton on the River Clyde, Scotland, in 1869. At the bottom of the reverse, there are the inscriptions indicating the name of the coin and the standard of coinage. This Cutty Sark coin would make a perfect gift for those interested in history or collecting ships.
