2023 $2 The Phantom 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin

20232 $2 The Phantom 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured CoinThe Phantom, sworn to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty and injustice, was created by Lee Falk in 1936. Seemingly immortal, having been around since 1536, he is in fact the 21st member of a crime-fighting dynasty who all adopt the same costumed-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.

Featured in The Phantom, the most widely-read superhero comic in the world, the anti-crime crusader is also a star of film, television and video games.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver, the coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 2,000 of The Phantom2023 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coins.

The coin's reverse features images of The Phantom, the inscription 'THE PHANTOM' and "THE GHOST WHO WALKS", and a background representing the Skull Cave along with The Perth Mint's P Mintmark.

The coin's obverse bears the the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, supplemented with the dates of her reign, the monetary denomination, the weight and fineness, and the 2023 year-date.

The coin is housed in a specially designed black and purple circular presentation case. The top of the lid features a composite image of The Phantom's masked face and his Skull Mark.

When opened to reveal the coin, the underside of the lid features the Skull Mark with eyes that automatically light up. 

The special case comes in a box shipper with a purple, metallic-like finish on the lid. The shipper lid also features a varnished version of The Phantom's Skull Mark.

Each coin has been individual 'antiqued' to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasion of an ancient artefact.

As a result of this treatment, the appearance of each coin in the mintage may vary.© 2023 King Features Syndicate TM Hearst Holdings Inc. All Rights Reserved.
