TWIST, TURN, SOLVE

Rubik’s® Cube inspired a global craze. The aim of the addictive puzzle is to twist and turn its 54 coloured squares so that each face is uniformly coloured. With 43 quintillion ways to scramble the coloured squares, it has provided hours of entertainment for the whole family. Those who take it most seriously study techniques and strategies to find the solution as quickly as possible. The current ‘speedcubing’ record for solving a 3 x 3 cube is an almost unbelievable 3.13 seconds.

GOLD-PLATED INSERT

The magnificent coin’s focal point is a representative model of a Rubik’s® Cube. Plated in 24-carat gold, the unique feature rotates in recognition of the puzzle’s twisting and turning method of play. Included in the coin’s design is the official RUBIK’S™ 50 YEARS™ coloured logo, which appears on an antiqued pattern of cubes. Also portrayed are coloured images of the puzzle in play, the inscription ‘TWIST, TURN, SOLVE’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

H.M. KING CHARLES III EFFIGY

The coin’s obverse portrays the Jody Clark effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, monetary denomination and year-date.

PRESENTATION PACKAGING

The coin is housed in a presentation box replica of Rubik’s® Cube that twists in order to open. Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the packaging also features a black box outer and themed sleeve.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
