2024 Marvel 85th Anniversary 1/2oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin
***Shipping from Mid of November***
The Perth Mint is pleased to present a coin celebrating the 85th anniversary of Marvel.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the world's favourite box office attraction. With 33 blockbusters to date - and counting - the biggest movie franchise in history has legions of fans around the world.
The films feature Super Heroes who first appeared in American comic books. Founded in 1939, Timely Comics, the progenitor of Marvel Comics, introduced a raft of characters, including Human Torch, Sub-Mariner, and
Captain America, whose popularity helped underpin the 'Golden Age' of comic books.
Marvel Comics was at the forefront of the revival of interest in Super Heroes during the early 1960s. As well as unveiling the Marvel Universe, the shared single reality in which its comic book characters operate, the introduction of the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Incredible Hulk, Thor, X-Men, Avengers, and many more ushered in the new 'Silver Age'.
Their adventures have been adapted for books, television, animation, video games and, of course, film, including 2008's pivotal Iron Man. As the first movie to be set in the cinematic equivalent of the original Marvel Universe, it sparked a new era of success for the prized characters.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1/2oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality, issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.
No more than 2,500 of the 85th Anniversary of Marvel 1/2oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin will be released.
