Set to shake the foundations of the collector market, we are delighted to present the Richter Scale 2025 $1 1oz Silver Proof Coin!

Struck to the height of Proof quality from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver, and expertly enhanced with full-colour, this official legal tender coin commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Richter Scale. Developed by Charles Richter and Beno Gutenberg, the Richter Scale was first presented in a key academic work by Richter in 1935. Based on a scale of 1.0 to 9.9, the Richter Scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake.

A dramatic example of the power of modern minting, the Richter Scale 2025 $1 1oz Silver Proof Coin captures the essence of an earthquake through the expert application of full-colour. United with a bright red portrayal of the Richter Scale in action, the use of full-colour creates the illusion of deep cracks in the coin, representing the deadly fissures created by earthquakes!
