$34.12The Black Panther is on the move, but you'll never see him coming! That's where BOLD comes in. Introducing the 3rd installment of the amazing! Marvel Tuvalu Superheroes series, the 2018 Silver 1 oz Marvel Black Panther. This .9999 fine silver bullion coin is produced by Perth Mint for the island nation of Tuvalu. Following the phenomenal success of the Black Panther movie released in February 2018, this coin is being received with matching enthusiasm!
The Black Panther character was introduced by Marvel Comics in the Fantastic Four #52, released in 1966. The character and story line were created by famed writer-editor, Stan Lee and artist, Jack Kirby (superheroes in their own right). T'Challa is the Black Panther. Each step in the path that led to his ascension as King of the (fictional) African nation of Wakanda also created the Black Panther. His history and exploits as both the man, T'Challa and the Black Panther are astounding!
This 2018 Silver 1 oz Marvel Black Panther coin displays the powerful strength and keen prowess that Black Panther wields. The reverse features Black Panther in an awesome action pose. You can almost visualize his spirit-connection to the panther, as he crouches just before striking. His body is lean, but his powerful muscles bulge within his sleek vibranium suit. His right arm is extended forward, with claws ready. His left arm is raised high, but outside of the coin's field. This is a powerful scene! Inscriptions include "MARVEL BLACK PANTHER" in the upper left, and the Marvel copyright at the right rim. A striking border frames the backdrop at the left rim.
The obverse common to the series displays Ian Rank-Broadley's right-facing profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Inscriptions include "QUEEN ELIZABETH II - TUVALU", the weight, 9999 purity, release date, and face value.

For every Superhero there is a story to be told. You might say, there are two stories, the personal history and the professional exploits. The two begin to merge into one in the unfolding of each episode. From the earliest comic books, to the larger graphic novels, and then the blockbuster movies, we have continued to return for each new release. We connect with their determination to use their powers for good, even while continually tripping over their own personal shortcomings.
Perhaps no modern storytellers of the lives and exploits of superheroes have captured this better than Marvel. Our connection with these characters and their stories, intrigue, entertain, challenge and actually inspire us. Tell the truth, how many of us growing up were captured by the idea that one day we could make a difference like these amazing men and women?
Superheroes not only fill the pages of comics and graphic novels. They also abound in the real history of the peoples and nations of the world. Throughout the ages, mighty, yet complicated men and women who have made their mark on history have had their legacies preserved. As a memorial of their heroic contributions and exploits, their images were chiseled, stamped, or engraved upon stone and metal. This practice continues today in the production of fine bullion coinage.
There is a rich history that precedes the modern practice of coin collecting. Many trace the rise of interest in compiling sets of coins back to the Renaissance period of the fourteenth century. These consisted primarily of ancient coins bearing the images of kings and rulers and was the pursuit of the rich and noble class. It wasn't until much later that what we might consider a middle class interest began to evolve.
The interest often fell along the lines of the personal preferences of these early coin collectors. Some sought ancient specimens for both their beauty and the historical aspect of the person, whose image graced the coin. Others found great interest in collecting a wide variety of foreign coins. Perhaps they were seeking to open their minds to the vastly different and amazing cultures and natural beauty of this wide-world.
Whether those of ages past, or current, collectors seldom choose items simply on the basis that they might someday increase in value. No, we collect items because of the connection we feel to the story, place, or character they represent. However, when it comes to precious metals, and bullion coin series based on superheroes, we enter into a realm where value appreciation often does follow personal appreciation. With the lower mintages usually associated with series such as these, there is even greater opportunity for premiums (and value) to increase as the availability declines.
Our investments and collections of bullion coins include those marked with images of real men and women who have stood against the tide in history. They also include depictions of the fierce and beautiful examples of wildlife species that amaze us. Also, coins bearing the beauty of special places throughout the world, whether natural or man-made, delight us. And, yes, we also include those emblazoned with fictional characters that exemplify many of the same traits of historical examples that inspire us.
So, is it really OK for me to invest not only in Eagles, Maples, Libertads, Britannias, Philharmonics, Kangaroos, and Pandas, but also series like Marvel's Tuvalu Superheroes? We certainly believe so, especially if you enjoy it! If you are only into precious metals as a cold, hard investment (which is also OK), you are missing out on a lot of the fun and excitement.
Don't be afraid to follow your personal interests. Also, this is a great way to interest your children to join you in coin collecting. As we at BOLD Precious Metals always say, "Never miss an opportunity to get your children involved!"
