Silver Ounce 2022 Minted Mini - Bart Simpson, 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.

The Mint says about this coin:
Introducing a charming new way to celebrate The Simpsons, this character-shaped coin portrays a stylised representation of one of its most popular characters. Made from 1oz of pure silver, the official licensed product is the first of a series of exceptionally limited Minted Mini Collectables sure to delight fans around the world.

The Simpsons premiered as a half hour-series in 1989 and instantly became a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon, now seen across 200 countries in 27 languages. In 2018, The Simpsons reached an incredible milestone becoming the longest-running prime-time scripted show in television history.

An official licensed product, the character-shaped coin portrays a stylised representation of Bart Simpson in colour.
