America’s P-51 Mustang met and conquered nearly every opposing plane it faced during World War II. As it hunted down enemy aircraft, Allied air superiority was assured, ensuring everlasting fame for the Mustang in aviation circles, and everlasting praise from combat soldiers who welcomed the fighter’s assistance in blasting trains, ships and enemy installations. In 2008, to honor this famous fighter plane, Australia’s world-renowned Perth Mint issued this 1-ounce Proof struck in .999 pure silver. At 40.6mm in diameter, it’s larger than a U.S. silver dollar. And the fantastic design of two mustangs racing across a mirror-proof sky is as spectacular as it gets!
