Silver Ounce 2017 Marvel - Spider-Man, 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 silver ounce format (abbreviated as 1 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 is the first issue in the Marvel Coin Series - silver bullion coins depicting characters from Marvel comics, and features Spider-Man (alternatively spelled Spiderman).

The mint says about it:
The bite from a radioactive spider granted Peter Parker amazing arachnid powers. After losing his beloved Uncle en to a burglar, grief-stricken Peter vowed to use his incredible abilities to protect New York as the Amazing Spider-Man! Peter's trials taught him an invaluable lesson: with great power, there must also come great responsibility.
