After seeing the movie “Jaws”, many people were terrified of encountering a shark while swimming. The Great White Shark coin is a beautiful silver 1 troy ounce coin that reflects this fear well. The coin shows a surfer with a Great White Shark swimming right under the water surface next to it. The Great White Shark coin has a diameter of 38.61 mm and a mintage of 2,021 pieces worldwide. On top of that, the Great White Shark coin is considered a legal tender in the United States and therefore has a nominal value of $5.
The Great White Shark coin design will be terrifying to some. The obverse of the Great White Shark coin shows a beautifully colored image of the sea from above. This image shows a surfer with a Great White Shark right next to it, swimming just below the surface. This becomes clear when the coin is flipped as you can then see the image from below. The reverse of the Great White Shark coin shows the large body of the Great White Shark and the underside of the surfboard next to it. This side is left silver and also shows the title, country of issue, and nominal value of the coin.
