A fighter jet pointing north above the Top Gun logo, the line 'I FEEL THE NEED…THE NEED FOR SPEED' and a blue and red cloudy sky make up the coloured reverse of this 1oz silver coin, issued to mark 40 years since the film first soared into theatres in 1986. Beneath the logo are the words '40 YEARS', and the design carries The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark.

Top Gun follows Maverick, a gifted fighter pilot who confronts fierce rivalries, personal loss and the challenge of proving himself at the elite Top Gun school, with friendship, courage and redemption at the heart of the story. Top Gun: Maverick followed in 2022, continuing his journey as a mentor and earning a Best Picture nomination.

The 40 Years of Top Gun 2026 1oz Silver Coloured Coin is available in Australia from Direct Coins. Leading authorised distributor for The Perth Mint since 2012.
