Coin Details

Description

This 2025 proof gold coin features Wonder Woman as part of the United States Mint's Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection. Wonder Woman (Diana, Princess of Themyscira) first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941), created by William Moulton Marston and H.G. Peter. Wonder Woman is an Amazon warrior princess from the hidden island of Themyscira, sent as an ambassador to the world of humanity. Created during World War II by psychologist William Moulton Marston, Diana was conceived as a distinctly feminist hero whose strength comes from love and compassion rather than violence alone. Armed with her indestructible bracelets, Lasso of Truth, and powers granted by the Greek gods, Wonder Woman has been a symbol of female empowerment and one of DC Comics' most iconic characters for over eight decades. The obverse portrays Wonder Woman with her shield and Lasso of Truth, reflecting peace and equality, captured in the vivid comic art style of the program. The reverse features the iconic Wonder Woman emblem. This half-ounce coin is struck in proof finish from .9999 fine (24-karat) gold at the West Point Mint, carrying the "W" mint mark. It measures 27.00 mm (1.063 inches) in diameter with a reeded edge, and bears a face value of $50 as legal tender of the United States. The authorized mintage is limited to 10,000 pieces, with an initial household order limit of one unit during the first 24 hours of sales. The gold proof coin represents the premium tier of the Comic Art Coin and Medal Program, combining the official legal tender status of United States coinage with the artistic presentation of DC Comics illustration. Wonder Woman completed the inaugural 2025 trio of the Comic Art program with her November 13, 2025 release, representing a milestone as the first female character in the series. The United States Mint's Comic Art Coin and Medal Program represents the first major collaboration between the federal mint and a comic book publisher, bringing DC Comics' legendary characters to official U.S. numismatic products. Each character is offered across multiple formats from gold proof coins to affordable clad medals, serving collectors at every level. As a limited-mintage gold proof coin from the U.S. Mint, this piece carries both numismatic collector value and intrinsic precious metal content, appealing to coin collectors, bullion investors, and DC Comics enthusiasts alike.
