New Zealand Mint Unveils WB100 Looney Tunes Mashups - Superman 2oz Silver Coin
Posted on September 20, 2023 by Neil Cole
Warner Bros. 100th anniversary celebrations continue and so does the New Zealand Mint's popular Looney Tunes Mashups series! This next 2oz pure silver coin takes us back to the 1978 classic, Superman. But this time, the Looney Tunes gang take a stab at fighting for truth and justice!
Academy Award-winners Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman head an all-star cast in the fantastic, action-packed film that made Christopher Reeve an international star playing the greatest superhero of all time. From the doomed planet of Krypton, two parents launch a spaceship carrying their infant son to earth. Here he grows up to become Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet. But with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, he battles for truth and justice as Superman.
The coin shows the adorable Looney Tunes in colour dressed as Superman from the film - how cute is that! Our favourite is Tweety Bird with his awesome hair! Which do you prefer, Bugs Bunny, the Tasmanian Devil, Sylvester the Cat, Daffy Duck or Porky Pig? To reflect the anniversary, the coin has been shaped like the WB logo. The entire background is in a shiny mirror-finish which contrasts brilliantly against the frosted abbreviation 'WB'. What a fun and unique way to honour this major film that changed the game for Super Hero movies forever!
Turn to the obverse to find the WB100 logo, reminding you of this special anniversary, along with the Public Seal of Niue which confirms the coin’s legal tender status.
Created in partnership with Warner Bros. Global Consumer Products, the themed box accompanies your precious coin. The inside is lined with velvet to keep it securely stored and turn to the back to find a Certificate of Authenticity and the coin’s unique number. Just 1,923 coins have been minted in the world to reflect the year Warner Bros. was founded!
WB100 Looney Tunes Mashups - Superman 2oz Silver Coin retails for US$180.00 and is currently available for purchase at NZMint.com. Don your cape and fly to grab yours today!
