COMIX™ SILVER COIN COLLECTION FEATURING CLASSIC COMIC BOOK COVERS FROM DC COMICS

The New Zealand Mint has released a series of specially designed silver coins that resemble classic comic book covers published by DC Comics. Each coin in the collection, aptly titled, the COMIX™ collection, is made from 1oz pure silver and crafted into a rectangular shape that's colored on the front and all four sides. On the back of each one is an engraved emblem that confirms the coin as legal tender, and they're all individually housed inside a custom-designed gift box with a large window on the front for an easy display. Printed on the back of each box can be found a Certificate of Authenticity as well as the coin's specifications and unique number (in the limited mintage of 5,000). Some of the classic covers in the COMIX™ collection include...

Detective Comics #27: It was released in May 1939 and is known for being Batman's comic book debut.
