Sideshow really want your money, and who doesn’t want to throw it at them after their latest offering? Here, Sideshow present new Batman & Penguin Silver Coins. These are released as a tribute to the wonderful 1960’s television series and are limited to 1966 pieces. This, of course, marks the date the series started.
ABOUT THE BATMAN SILVER COIN
KAPOW! This sensational BATMAN™ ‘66 1oz Silver Coin shows BATMAN in color doing his Batusi dance along with the words from the immortal BATMAN theme tune, “Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…”. The engraved background of starbursts and the BATMAN ‘66 logo completes this fun design which captures the cheery campiness of this extraordinarily popular show. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the coin is legal tender in Niue.
The coin is packaged in a magnetized acrylic block so it can be easily displayed or removed as needed. It fits snugly inside an outer box which shows a cartoon BATMAN on the top and the BATMOBILE™ and BAT SIGNAL™ shining over the GOTHAM CITY™ skyline on the base. BATMAN and ROBIN™ can be seen scaling the sides!
A limited-edition coin with a worldwide mintage of only 1,966 to mark the date of the series, its uniquely numbered Certificate of Authenticity is also found inside the packaging.
