2025 Comic Art Batman Clad Medal

Coin Details

Description

This clad medal features Batman from the United States Mint's Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection, produced in the same half-dollar-sized format used for the program's base metal offerings. 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 clad medal matches the specifications of a United States half dollar in composition (8.33% nickel, balance copper), diameter (30.61 mm / 1.205 inches), and weight (11.340 grams). It features a plain edge and is not legal tender. The clad medal is sold exclusively as part of the Comic Art Three-Medal Set alongside the other 2025 characters (Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman). No individual sales or fixed mintage limits have been announced. The clad medal format makes the Comic Art program accessible to the widest possible audience, with base metal composition keeping the price point affordable for casual collectors, fans, and younger audiences. 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 half-dollar-sized clad medals provide a compact and affordable entry into the Comic Art collection, preserving the same designs as their precious metal counterparts in an accessible format.
