Product Description
2015 $30 2 oz Pure Silver Coin – Looney Tunes Classic Scenes: Fast and Furry-ous featuring Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner
Bugs. Daffy. Tweety. Sylvester. For many Canadians, the mere mention of these names evoke fond childhood memories of spending Saturday mornings in front of a television, transfixed and spellbound as these characters—and many more—outsmarted each other in situations that could only exist in our imaginations.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- The reverse design pays tribute to the iconic Coyote-versus-Road Runner cartoons by depicting a scene from a Looney Tunes short that marked their first ever appearance.
- Crafted from 99.99% pure silver, this coin is striking thanks to the combined use of selective colour, expert engraving and multiple finishes.
- Each coin comes packaged in a box that mimics an ACME crate, which was a fixture in Looney Tunes shorts whenever Wile E. Coyote would have a contraption shipped to him!
- A sentimental coin for any Looney Tunes fan, particularly for those with fond memories of this classic duo.
- A wonderful collectible for those with a passion for animation and its history.
DESIGN
The reverse image, provided by Warner Bros., showcases the antagonistic pairing of Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner in a scene from their first Looney Tunes short, Fast and Furry-ous (1949). The use of selective colour brings the engraved Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote to life. Staring at the viewer with an incredulous look on his face, Wile E. Coyote has held out a lid in front of Road Runner in hopes that it will slow the bird. Seen in side-profile, Road Runner smiles knowingly as he stops just short of the lid, seizing quickly that his pursuer might not be as clever as he thinks he is.
