2025 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 'Splinter' 1oz Coloured Silver Proof Coin
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a band of pizza-loving brothers like no other. Exposed to ‘mutagenic ooze’ as baby turtles, they were transformed into crime-fighting New York superheroes expert in the art of ninjutsu. Energetic, inventive and enthusiastic, Michelangelo is a wisecracking party dude famous for exclaiming ‘cowabunga’.
Naturally gifted but reluctant to train, he frustrates his brothers, who believe that with more focus and discipline he could really excel at ninjutsu. Nevertheless, Mike or Mikey as he’s also known, is an impressive fighter. Michelangelo generally wears an orange eye-mask and his weapons of choice are nunchuks, which he handles with skill and precision.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Michaelangelo 2024 1oz Silver Coloured Proof Coin.Once known as Hamato Yoshi, Splinter is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' sensei, or ninjutsu teacher.
Exposed to the same mutagenic ooze that transformed the TMNT into crime-fighting superheroes, he is also the brothers' adoptive father.
Intelligent, wise, calm, and highly experienced, Splinter coaches his protégés in patience, discipline, and morality while being a formidable martial arts master himself. His strength, agility, and fiercely protective nature never fail in the face of danger.
