In 1987, the Simpson family made its debut as part of a 30-second cartoon short in The Tracey Ullman Show. After just two years on the air as a part of that series, FOX picked up the concept as a new 30-minute animated series in 1989. More than three decades later, The Simpsons is going strong and broadcasting around the world to a new generation of kids, teens, and adults.
The Perth Mint has featured a number of different coins to date in its Simpsons-themed program. As mentioned above, the first was a five-coin colorized proof set with images of the main characters of the Simpsons family: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Additional 1 oz silver BU coins were made available as well with figures such as Krusty the Clown. The 2020 Homer Simpson Gold Coin is the first gold BU installment in the series.
On the obverse side of 2020 1 oz Tuvalu The Simpsons Homer Gold Coins is a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. The nation of Tuvalu continues the use of the popular Ian Rank-Broadley design created in 1998 for the Royal Mint of England. This regal depiction of the Queen includes a right-profile bust with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara on the Queen’s head.
The reverse face of the 2020 Tuvalu The Simpsons Homer Gold Coin includes a depiction of the affable family patriarch. Homer is shown here with an exasperated look on his face as he bellows out his trademark catchphrase, “D’oh!” In a nod to his favorite food, the letter “O” in the phrase takes the shape of a donut that has a bit taken out of it.
These 2020 1 oz Tuvalu The Simpsons Homer Gold Coins come with a themed presentation card. The card is black with various white silhouettes depicting a wide range of characters from the popular animated series. The coin is set in a capsule space within the card for protection.
