2025 Comic Art Batman One Ounce Silver Medal

Coin Details

Description

This 2025 one-ounce silver medal depicts Batman as part of the United States Mint's Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection. 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 one-troy-ounce medal is struck in .999 fine silver at the Philadelphia Mint with a matte finish. It measures 40.60 mm (1.598 inches) in diameter with a plain edge. The medal does not carry a date or denomination, though it is cataloged by its release year. The one-ounce silver medal has no fixed mintage limit, making it the most accessible precious metal offering in the Comic Art program. Subscriptions are available for ongoing character releases. The one-ounce silver medal serves as the entry point for precious metal collectors in the Comic Art program, offering the same design as the gold coin and 2.5-ounce medal in a more affordable format. 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. Authorized by the United States Mint in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, the Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection brings DC's most iconic superheroes to numismatic art. The multi-year program debuts three characters annually, with each hero depicted in the bold, dynamic style of classic comic book illustration across gold coins, silver medals, and clad medals. With no mintage ceiling and subscription availability, the one-ounce silver medal is designed for the broadest collector audience, providing an affordable way to collect each character in .999 fine silver.
