One of the most celebrated film franchises of the last four decades is Ghostbusters. The film introduced the question “Who you gonna call?” followed by the answer “Ghostbusters!” into popular culture. This catchphrase, which was also part of the movie’s theme song by Ray Parker Jr., became instantly recognizable and has been referenced countless times in various media and everyday conversations since the film’s release in 1984. Right now, 2024 1 oz Niue Silver 40th Anniversary Ghostbusters Coins are available at JM Bullion.

The original concept for Ghostbusters was developed by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. They envisioned it as a project for themselves and fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus Eddie Murphy. Belushi was meant to play the role of Peter Venkman, which was written with his comedic style in mind. Unfortunately, Belushi passed away in 1982 before the project could come to fruition. Bill Murray, another SNL alumnus and friend of Aykroyd, was then cast in the role. Murray’s dry wit and improvisational skills ended up shaping the character in a different, but equally memorable way.
For the obverse of the 2024 Niue Silver 40th Anniversary Ghostbusters Coin, you will find the Public Seal of Niue. The national emblem featured here is symbolic of the government of Niue. The seal is featured along with the silhouettes of the four main characters from the film: Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Dr. Peter Venkman, and Winston Zeddemore.
In the reverse design of 2024 1 oz Silver 40th Anniversary Ghostbusters Coins, the iconic and instantly recognizable logo for Ghostbusters is depicted. One of the most recognized film logos of all time, it was created remarkably short period of time. Michael C. Gross, who later became an associate producer on the film, designed the logo in a single afternoon.

“Stunning coin with the simple logo design and the contrasting finishes. Almost returned because all of them had big circular scuffs/scratches that spoiled the appearance, but found the scratches were not on the coins themselves but on the capsules, which I was able to replace. Would rate 4 stars for that, but not fair to the coin itself.”
