SMASH! This hilarious BATMANTM ‘66 1oz Silver Coin features THE JOKERTM in colour with one of his many witty quips. Completing the design is a background of engraved starbursts, in-keeping with the series iconography, along with laughter in the form of “Hee!” and “Ho!”. The fun designs for these coins capture the cheery campiness of this extraordinarily popular show. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the coin is legal tender in Niue.
Officially licensed by Warner Brothers, this limited-edition coin has a worldwide mintage of only 1,966. Its uniquely numbered Certificate of Authenticity is found inside the packaging, which includes a magnetised acrylic block so the coin can be easily displayed or removed as needed. This fits snugly inside an outer box which shows a cartoon image of THE JOKER on the top and the BATMOBILETM and BAT SIGNALTM shining over the GOTHAM CITYTM skyline on the base. BATMAN and ROBINTM can be seen scaling the sides! Order your coin today and you’ll be smiling too.
Coin Story
The 1966 BATMANTM TV Series aired for three seasons from January 12, 1966 to March 14, 1968. Casar Romero famously starred as THE JOKERTM in this series.
During its first season, it was one of only two prime-time TV series to be broadcast twice in one week, with the first episode always containing a cliffhanger ending and the voice over: “Tune in tomorrow—same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!”. The cheery campiness of this live action situation comedy was an unexpected success and for many viewers became their first exposure to the CAPED CRUSADERTM, his sidekick ROBINTM and their fiendish rogues gallery that included THE JOKER.
