First released in 1965, Frank Herberts Dune has become a cornerstone of science fiction literature. The novel tells a sweeping story that touches on politics, environmental challenges, religion, and human nature, all set within a detailed universe centered on the desert planet Arrakis. With renewed interest generated by recent film adaptations, the Perth Mint has introduced collectible bullion items that draw inspiration from this famous story. Right now, 1 Gram Perth Mint DUNE Gold Bars are available at BGASC.

Obverse

The obverse of the Perth Mint DUNE Gold Bar features a design of the legendary sandworms of Arrakis. Within the DUNE universe, these creatures are closely tied to the planets ecological balance and the formation of the spice melange. The Fremen people, who live on Arrakis, regard the sandworms as sacred beings and refer to them as Shai-Hulud, recognizing their deep importance to both nature and culture on the planet.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 1 Gram DUNE Gold Bar is the official seal of the Perth Mint. The design shows the Perth Swan in right-profile relief, surrounded by the name of the mint. Behind the swan, a bright sunburst pattern fills the background field. Inscriptions on this side also list the bars weight, metal type, and purity.

History

Among the most famous elements of the DUNE story are the sandworms that inhabit the deserts of Arrakis. These enormous creatures move beneath the sand and can reach tremendous lengths. They are attracted to rhythmic vibrations, which makes operating equipment or traveling across the desert extremely risky. Their presence shapes how people live and work on the planet.
