Silver Half Ounce 2020 The Simpsons - Homer Simpson, Coin from Tuvalu - detailed information

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the value: QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1/2 oz 9999 Ag 2020 TUVALU 50 CENTS.

The inscription around the rim also incorporates the precious metal content. "1/2 oz 9999 Ag" means "one half of a troy ounce of 99.99% silver" ("Ag" is abbreviated from Argentum, the Latin word for silver).

The coin’s reverse is coloured and portrays cartoon character Homer Simpson smiling in front of his workplace, a nuclear plant, as it expels smoke in the background.

Above left, the signature of the creator of the show, Matt Groening. Below right, the Perth Mint’s P mint mark. Around below, the copyright acknowledgement ©20CF (20th Century Fox).
