Silver Ounce 2022 The Phantom, 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 bullion coin features comic book and film character The Phantom.

The Phantom is an American comic book series created by Lee Falk in 1963. The main character is the crime-fighter Phantom, believed to be immortal as his first heroic acts date back to 1536. However, the Phantom is, in fact, a dynasty of heroes who succeed in fighting greed, injustice, and cruelty using the same persona. The Phantom lives in a jungle hideout known as Skull Cave, where all previous Phantoms are buried. Like his predecessors, he relies on his strength, intellect, and legendary immortality to overcome evil.
