Coin Details

Description

This 2025 one-ounce silver medal depicts Superman as part of the United States Mint's Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection. Superman (Kal-El / Clark Kent) first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 1938), created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Superman, the Man of Steel, was the first comic book superhero and has defined the genre since his debut in 1938. Born on the planet Krypton as Kal-El and raised in Smallville, Kansas as Clark Kent, Superman possesses extraordinary powers including flight, super strength, heat vision, and invulnerability. Created by two young men from Cleveland, Ohio, Superman became an instant cultural phenomenon and has remained one of the most recognizable fictional characters in the world for nearly nine decades. The obverse depicts Superman in flight, symbolizing hope and strength, with the character rendered in a dynamic comic art style that captures the energy of classic DC Comics illustration. The reverse features the iconic Superman shield 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. Superman inaugurated the Comic Art Coin and Medal Program as its first character release on July 24, 2025, establishing the artistic and production standards for the entire multi-year series. The Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection is a multi-year collaboration between the United States Mint and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, featuring iconic DC Comics characters rendered in a distinctive comic art illustration style. The program launched in 2025 with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, and continues with new characters each year through at least 2027. 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.
