Silver Ounce 2024 DC Comics - Batman 1966 Logo, Coin from Niue - detailed information

Niue, a sovereign state in free association with New Zealand, uses two official legal tender currencies. The New Zealand Dollar is the circulation currency for daily transactions, while the government also authorises legal tender coins in the Niue Dollar currency for collector's purposes.

A number of mints issue a large variety of commemorative, bullion and collector coins under the authority of Niue. These coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to Niue itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes - typically, one ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum). Many of these feature famous movie characters.

This specially shaped coin is dedicated to DC Comics character Batman, and recreates the Batman logo from 1966.

Since 1940, billionaire Bruce Wayne has been fighting evil in Gotham City as Batman. He has dedicated his life to an endless crusade, a war against all criminals in the name of his murdered parents, who were taken from him when he was just a child. He is not only one of the first and most famous superheroes of the DC Universe, but also a founding member of the Justice League. The limited edition of only 1,939 pieces reflects the year of Batman's release and once again honors the 85th anniversary of the superhero in this way.
