Introductory Pre-Order Price: A$285

UV Torch Supplied with Coin

A spectral whale rising from blue waters beneath a blood-red sky gives Bake-Kujira its arresting presence. Inspired by the Ghost Whale of Japanese folklore, the design captures the skeletal yōkai accompanied by circling birds, an apparition said to embody the spirits and resentment of whales lost to human hands. Under UV light, the whale itself glows, turning the artwork into a luminous echo of the legend.

With a mintage of just 500, this 1 oz silver release offers discerning collectors an unusual meeting of mythology, dramatic colour and hidden visual detail. Its appeal lies in the contrast between the richly coloured scene and the ghostly skeleton revealed under UV light, a piece to return to and appreciate beyond the first viewing.
