Crossing a coin collector with a whisky lover may sound like a setup to a bad joke, but this combination is actually the perfect demographic for the rare and exceptional Whisky Coin.
One of three coins from the Spirit Coins series, the Whisky Coin is a 50 Tuvaluan dollar coin that contains a single drop of the oldest whisky in the world, Old Vatted Glenlivet 1862. If you can’t drink it, you can at least look at it as it sloshes around in this coin’s transparent central capsule. Surrounding this capsule and covering both sides of this pure gold coin are illustrative details, centering round the process of whisky production from malting to bottling.
Manufacturers Lux Coin and the Perth Mint Australia obviously believe that a rare whisky deserves a rare coin. Measuring 36.6mm across, only 300 units of this unique coin will be minted.
