Product Description
ROBIN – BATMAN ’66 – 2020 1 oz Pure Silver Proof Coin – Niue – NZ Mint
BAM! This fabulous BATMANTM ‘66 1oz Silver Coin shows ROBINTM in full colour in a fighting stance, along with one of his infamous sayings “Holy Smokes Batman!!”. Completing the design is a background of engraved starbursts, in-keeping with the series iconography, along with the iconic words “KAPOW”. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the coin is legal tender in Niue.
The coin is packaged in a magnetised acrylic block so it can be easily displayed or removed as needed. It fits snugly inside an outer box which shows a cartoon ROBIN on the top and the BATMOBILETM and BAT SIGNALTM shining over the GOTHAM CITYTM skyline on the base. BATMAN and ROBIN can be seen scaling the sides!
A limited-edition coin, this is pop art delight. Its uniquely numbered Certificate of Authenticity is found inside the packaging and confirms the coin as part of a worldwide mintage of only 1,966.
If you are nostalgic for the “Boy Wonder”, then make sure you don’t miss out on this third coin in the collection.
Coin Story
The 1966 BATMANTM TV Series aired for three seasons from January 12, 1966 to March 14, 1968. Burt Ward famously starred as Dick Grayson/ROBINTM in this series – BATMAN’s faithful (if overly eager) partner. The show introduced new audiences to the crimefighting capers of the “Dynamic Duo”, BATMAN and ROBIN.
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 for the TV network.
