2005 Dancing Man Moving Image
1oz Silver Proof Dollar Coin
The Anniversary of the Second World War has seen many tributes, and this would have to the ultimate. The dancing man moving image on a coin released by the Perth Mint. When viewed from different angles, the remarkable 'lenticular' reverse on the coins produces a movie-like sequence showing Australia's famous 'dancing man' in Sydney on 15 August 1945.
The original newsreel footage of the 'dancing man' symbolised the joyous relief felt by the entire nation after six years of war in which 39,000 Australians were killed. Its iconic status adds to the superb collectability of these coins, which will be extremely sought after as the first Australian legal tender releases to feature film-like continuous movement. Individual 1oz silver coins are housed in a replica newsreel canister, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. The coin's technical specifications and numbering also appear on the lid in the form of a canister label.
