2026 Comic Art Robin 2.5 Ounce Silver Medal

Coin Details

Description

This 2026 silver medal showcases Robin in the United States Mint's Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection, struck as a substantial 2.5-ounce .999 fine silver piece. Robin (Dick Grayson (original)) first appeared in Detective Comics #38 (April 1940), created by Bob Kane, Bill Finger, and Jerry Robinson. Robin, the Boy Wonder, was introduced in 1940 as Batman's young sidekick, becoming one of the first teenage heroes in comic book history. The original Robin, Dick Grayson, was a circus acrobat orphaned when criminals murdered his parents — mirroring Batman's own origin and creating a powerful mentor-protege dynamic. The Robin mantle has been carried by several characters over the decades, but Dick Grayson remains the definitive version who eventually graduated to become the independent hero Nightwing. The obverse depicts Robin in action, fearless and fiercely loyal, showcasing the ultimate sidekick's serious skills in the program's distinctive comic art style. The reverse features the Robin 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, following the 2025 precedent of 25,000 pieces per character. 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. Robin is the second character in the 2026 season of the Comic Art program, scheduled for summer release, representing the enduring appeal of Batman's legendary partner. 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.
