In 1986, fans of the Batman franchise of DC Comics were introduced to a version of Batman the likes of which they’d never seen before. Author Frank Miller re-imagined the Batman that fans had loved since 1939. Miller introduced fans to the Dark Knight in a four-comic mini-series entitled The Dark Knight Returns.
Miller’s reimagined Batman was entirely different, and dimmer, than previous releases. Surprisingly it was a smash hit with fans and helped pave the way for a darker persona of Batman, as well as other conflicted superheroes in the future. 2016 marks the 30th anniversary of its release, and Sunshine Minting helps DC Comics celebrate with this release.
The 2016 2 oz Fiji 30th Anniversary Dark Knight Returns Silver Coin contains colorized artwork on the obverse side of the coin, and ships to you inside of a Dark Knight-themed box with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
On the obverse of the Dark Knight Returns coin you’ll find the image of Batman from Miller’s comic, set against a red backdrop with splashes of black ink in the design for a graphic appeal. The left side of the coin has a matte finished silver segment with the words “The Dark Knight” engraved.
The reverse side of the 2016 2 oz Fiji 30th Anniversary Dark Knight Returns Silver Coin includes the coat of arms for the nation of Fiji. This features numerous images pointing the island nation’s seafaring traditions, including a wooden sailing canoe above and images of aquatic wildlife on the crest.
