Silver Ounce 2024 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 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 premium bullion coin is struck from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver and is dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The mint says about it:
"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are four mutated, humanoid giant turtles who use their special abilities to fight evil on the streets of New York. Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo have mastered the art of ninjutsu to perfection and each have their own special weapon. Under the leadership of their sensei, a rat named Splinter, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been on a mission to put a stop to their arch-enemy Oroku Saki, the so-called "Shredder", for 40 years now."
