A turning point in the American cultural zeitgeist and the history of movies, The Godfather was a film whose impact can scarcely be overstated. Bringing a realistic depiction of life in the American Mafia to the big screen for the first time, the film launched the careers of Francis Ford Coppola, Al Pacino and a host of other newcomers to the screen. It served up iconic performances that, in turn, fed back into the way real-life mobsters carried themselves on the street, and that influenced countless subsequent films in what would eventually become the sub-genre of Mob Movies. This extraordinary film is paid tribute by an extraordinary collectible, the 2022 1 oz Colorized Niue Silver Godfather 50th Anniversary Coin.

The Godfather was released at a time when it was the norm for Hollywood to depict Italians stereotypically, often not representing them as fully-realized characters. Based on the novel by Mario Puzo, who co-wrote the screenplay, Francis Ford Coppola’s flagship film brought a more rounded portrayal of the world of the Mafia to the big screen for the first time. It was immensely influential in terms of inspiring a vast range of crime dramas on both the big and small screens in the ensuing decades, as well as influencing popular culture more generally. Its 50th Anniversary is the perfect occasion for a pure silver collectible that does justice to its legacy.
The 2022 Colorized Niue Silver Godfather 50th Anniversary Coin is a gorgeous colorized coin that ships in a high-quality presentation case. Each coin comes fully insured by the team at JM Bullion, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
