Silver Ounce 2022 The Simpsons - Season’s Greetings, 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 part of a long running series by the Perth Mint featuring characters from The Simpsons cartoons, and is intended as a Christmas Greeting.

The Mint says about it:
Christmas is for families, and this 1oz silver coin offers an exclusive opportunity to share the festivities with one of television’s best-known households - The Simpsons.

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.
