2020 Tuvalu $1 1-oz Silver Industry in Motion Gear-Shaped Antiqued 2-pc Set

Collectors Are Geared Up For These Fabulous Coins

The wheels of industry and big business are constantly turning, providing jobs, fueling the economy and making profits for investors. But those wheels wouldn’t be turning at all if not for the little cogs and gears that keep things moving. Now those small-but-important pieces of machinery are getting their due with a new coin series from Australia’s prestigious Perth Mint titled “Industry in Motion.”

Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% pure silver, the first coins in this release feature a pair of gear-shaped cons that mimic the appearance of a cogwheel. Also known as a cog or gear, this device was fundamental to the development of machinery. These coins seamlessly fit together to represent a pair of working cogs and each has been individually “antiqued” to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an industrial artifact, meaning that no two coins are exactly alike!

These coins are $1 legal tender in Tuvalu, an independent South Pacific Ocean island nation within the British Commonwealth. And not only were just 1,500 of each coin struck, they’ve been announced as being totally sold out at the mint! What’s more, they are available only together in two-piece sets — and what a set! The coins come in original government packaging consisting of an acrylic case with a mechanism to rotate the gears! The case sits within a themed shipper and is accompanied by a Perth Mint-numbered Certificate of Authenticity. It’s an astonishing display worthy of the significance of the cogwheel gear itself!

The cog was one of several mechanical components that helped fuel the Industrial Revolution. Patented by English inventor Joseph Whitworth in 1835, the “hobbing” process to cut spiral gears provided a fast, accurate and relatively inexpensive way of cutting parts. While the cog with its big “teeth” is considered one of the oldest pieces of equipment known to man, it wasn’t until Whitworth’s breakthrough led to the invention of hobbing machines capable of cutting gears. This advancement continued into the 20th century and is now synonymous with engineering, progression and history, making the gear an icon of industry.
