Silver Ounce 2025 SpongeBob SquarePants - Patrick Star, 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 range featuring characters from the television series SpongeBob SquarePants, and features Patrick Star.

The mint says about it:
Dive into the bustling underwater city of Bikini Bottom with this unique 1oz 99.99% pure silver coin, featuring SpongeBob SquarePants' endearing best friend, Patrick Star. This vibrant, coloured coin pays tribute to their madcap adventures, encapsulating the charm of Jellyfish Fields.

In the underwater city of Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob SquarePants is the fry cook at fast food restaurant The Krusty Krab. Responsible for preparing its popular Krabby Patty, SpongeBob’s life revolves around a wacky ensemble of marine characters - customers, co-workers, friends, and rivals - with whom he shares many madcap adventures.

Patrick is SpongeBob's walking paradox and best friend. His usual dimwitted demeanour is unpredictably punctuated by moments of unexpected brilliance, adding an extra layer of hilarity to their shared adventures. The underwater world isn't complete without Patrick's charming naivety and SpongeBob's relentless optimism.
