Founded in 1896 as a branch to the British Royal Mint, Perth Mint today is one of the largest minting plants globally, owned by the Western Australian government. Manufacturer of the iconic ‘Kangaroo’ gold and silver investment coins, Perth Mint also produce a popular lunar series and a range of sought-after collector coins.
Rubik’s® Cube inspired a global craze. The aim of the addictive puzzle is to twist and turn its 54 coloured squares so that each face is uniformly coloured. With 43 quintillion ways to scramble the coloured squares, it has provided hours of entertainment for the whole family. Those who take it most seriously study techniques and strategies to find the solution as quickly as possible. The current ‘speedcubing’ record for solving a 3 x 3 cube is an almost unbelievable 3.13 seconds.
DESIGN:
The magnificent coin’s focal point is a representative model of a Rubik’s® Cube. Plated in 24-carat gold, the unique feature rotates in recognition of the puzzle’s twisting and turning method of play. Included in the coin’s design is the official RUBIK’S™ 50 YEARS™ coloured logo, which appears on an antiqued pattern of cubes. Also portrayed are coloured images of the puzzle in play, the inscription ‘TWIST, TURN, SOLVE’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
The coin’s obverse portrays the Jody Clark effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, monetary denomination and year-date.
PRESENTATION:
The coin is housed in a presentation box replica of Rubik’s® Cube that twists in order to open. Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the packaging also features a black box outer and themed sleeve.
