Silver Ounce 2024 Comix - The Incredible Hulk #181, 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 characters and themes from popular culture.

The coin is part of the Comix series, and is dedicated to The Incredible Hulk #181. The coloured design faithfully reproduces its front cover. To further enhance the visual impression of a comic book, the coin was minted in rectangular format, with the typical color scheme also paying tribute to the comic book effect. The reverse shows the coat of arms of Niue as well as the denomination, year of issue, weight, fineness and copyright.

The Incredible Hulk #181, published in November 1974, marks the legendary debut of Wolverine, one of the most popular characters in the Marvel Universe. The story revolves around Wolverine's relentless pursuit of the Hulk. The comic is considered a milestone in the history of Marvel Comics and is one of the most sought-after comic books in the world.
