2025 Comic Art Batman 2.5 Ounce Silver Medal

Coin Details

Description

This 2025 silver medal showcases Batman in the United States Mint's Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection, struck as a substantial 2.5-ounce .999 fine silver piece. Batman (Bruce Wayne) first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. Batman, the Dark Knight, is a billionaire vigilante who wages a one-man war on crime in Gotham City. Unlike most superheroes, Bruce Wayne possesses no superhuman powers — instead relying on his intellect as the world's greatest detective, mastery of martial arts, and an arsenal of specialized technology. Driven by the childhood trauma of witnessing his parents' murder, Batman has become one of the most complex and enduring characters in comic book history since his 1939 debut. The obverse depicts Batman in motion against a Gotham City skyline, representing justice and determination, rendered in the bold graphic style characteristic of DC Comics illustration. The reverse features the iconic Batman emblem. This 2.5-troy-ounce medal is struck in .999 fine silver at the Philadelphia Mint with a matte finish. It measures 50.80 mm (2.000 inches) in diameter with a plain edge. As a medal rather than a coin, it does not carry a denomination or legal tender status. The authorized mintage is limited to 25,000 pieces, with an initial household order limit of one unit during the first 24 hours of sales. The 2.5-ounce silver medal is the largest format in the Comic Art program, providing an expansive canvas for the comic art designs and a substantial silver content that appeals to both collectors and precious metal enthusiasts. Batman was the second character released in the Comic Art program on September 25, 2025, building on the strong collector reception of the Superman launch. The Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection marks a historic expansion of the United States Mint's product line into licensed entertainment properties. Working with Warner Bros. Discovery, the Mint has created a multi-year series that celebrates DC Comics characters through the precision craftsmanship and artistic standards that define American numismatic production. The larger diameter and heavier silver weight make this the showcase piece of each character's product lineup, with the matte finish creating a distinctive visual presentation that highlights the comic art illustration style.
