G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero began as a toy line produced by Hasbro. This was followed by the comic book of the same name initially written by Larry Hama. Hama collaborated closely with the visual artists, offering sketches as he developed each narrative through a spontaneous, inspiration-driven creative process. G.I. Joe remains a pop culture phenomenon, with particular emphasis placed on its sense of realism and attention to character development.
These 2022 1 oz Niue G.I. Joe 40th Anniversary Coins were produced at The New Zealand Mint and hold legal tender status in Niue Island. The coins include beautiful colorization as well as proof visuals. They will arrive to you encapsulated inside a collector’s box that includes an illustration of Snake Eyes on the front and a Certificate of Authenticity on the back. Also take note of the 1,982-piece mintage, which matches the year the first G.I. Joe comic book was released.
Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse of 2022 1 oz Silver G.I. Joe 40th Anniversary Coins. In designing this acclaimed portrait, artist Ian Rank-Broadley chose a simplified, neo-classical aesthetic that suits Her Majesty quite nicely. There are also inscriptions on the obverse field reading Elizabeth II, Niue, 2022, 2 Dollars.
A replication of the original G.I. Joe comic book cover is found on the reverse of 2022 1 oz Niue G.I. Joe 40th Anniversary Coins. This colorized design offers plenty of nostalgia and will make you want to dust off your old comic book collection. Inscriptions are included on the reverse that read 1 oz .999 Fine Silver.
