Silver Half Ounce 2024 Marvel 85th Anniversary, Coin from Tuvalu - detailed information

The Tuvaluan Dollar is the currency of Tuvalu - a small nation in the Pacific Ocean. Tuvalu has never had banknotes of its own, and has been issuing coins since 1976; these circulate together with coins of the Australian Dollar, which is also legal tender in the country, and to which the Tuvaluan Dollar is pegged.

The Australian Perth Mint issues a large variety of non-circulating legal tender coins under the authority of Tuvalu. Some of these are in the half ounce silver format (abbreviated as 1/2 oz). Strictly speaking, they are not bullion as they are priced at a premium and are targeted at collectors who appreciate them for their artistic merit and collectable value and not just for their precious metal content.

This coin marks the 85th anniversary of Marvel. The mint says about it:
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 comics dating from 1939. Their adventures have been adapted for books, television, animation, video games and, of course, film, including 2008’s pivotal Iron Man - the first movie to be set in the cinematic equivalent of the original Marvel Universe.
