Defenders of Liberty: Land 2023 $1 1oz .9999 Fine Silver BU Coin – Tuvalu – Perth Mint
Honour the courage, strength and technological development of those who have defended liberty on land with the striking Defenders of Liberty: Land 2023 $1 1oz Silver BU Coin, produced by The Perth Mint.
Struck from 1 Troy Ounce of .9999 fine silver, this Tuvalu legal-tender coin features a powerful military-themed design depicting a formation of tanks and armoured vehicles beneath the United States flag.
The highly detailed reverse, four-nines silver purity and Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse make this an impressive addition to collections focusing on military history, armoured vehicles, international bullion or limited Perth Mint designs.
Defenders of Liberty: Land
The Defenders of Liberty design pays tribute to the people, vehicles and armed forces that have protected freedom through operations conducted on land.
Armoured vehicles transformed military operations during the 20th century, providing personnel with increased mobility, protection and firepower. Their development became especially significant during the Second World War, when tanks and other mechanised vehicles played a central role in major land campaigns.
This coin captures the strength and imposing presence of these vehicles through a densely detailed arrangement of tanks and armoured machines.
Detailed Armoured Vehicle Design
Designed by Perth Mint artist Neil Hollis, the reverse features an array of American military tanks and armoured vehicles arranged in a commanding formation.
A large tank advances prominently at the front of the design, with additional military vehicles positioned behind it. The American flag flies above the formation, while radiating lines create a dramatic sense of movement and purpose.
The inscriptions ‘2023 LAND’ and ‘DEFENDERS OF LIBERTY’ identify both the year of issue and the coin’s military theme.
Also included are The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark and the designer’s ‘NH’ initials.
The detailed engraving makes this release particularly appealing to collectors of military history, historic vehicles and armed-forces-themed precious metals.
Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse
Although issued in 2023, the obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The portrait is accompanied by the inscription ‘QUEEN ELIZABETH II’ and the dates ‘1952–2022’, commemorating the duration of Her Majesty’s reign.
Also included are the coin’s 1oz weight, .9999 silver purity, 2023 year-date, issuing country and official monetary denomination.
With a face value of $1 TVD, the coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of Tuvalu.
One Troy Ounce of .9999 Fine Silver
Each coin contains 1 Troy Ounce of 99.99% pure silver, with a gross weight of approximately 31.1g.
The four-nines purity places the coin amongst The Perth Mint’s high-quality modern silver bullion issues, combining recognised precious-metal content with an unusual and highly detailed collectable design.
Measuring approximately 40mm in diameter, the coin provides a generous surface for the complex arrangement of tanks, vehicles, inscriptions and flag imagery.
