Long before Batman’s creation, pulp magazines and radio serials had featured well-heeled heroes who went toe-to-toe with the criminal element and the villains of their societies. Batman was the first character to blend that tradition with the emerging genre of the superhero, clad in spectacular tights and capes, and the equally revered genre of the master sleuth in the style of Sherlock Holmes. It was Batman’s unique combination of all these elements that would make him an immortal part of the DC Comics stable.
The 2022 Proof Niue Gold Classic Superhero Batman Coin celebrates this enduring hero in proof-quality pure gold with frosted, sculpted art and mirror-like backgrounds. Each coin comes with a Certificate of Authenticity that specifies its unique number in the mintage, shipping in a protective acrylic capsule, nestled in a velvet-lined display box.
An effigy of the late Queen Elizabeth II, designed in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, features on the coin’s obverse side and identifies it as legal tender. It’s accompanied by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE,” “250 DOLLARS” and “2022.”
The reverse side features Batman striking a powerful pose alongside his famous bat sigil. At the rim, inscriptions verify the gold’s weight and purity along with the copyright and trademark of DC.
