2026 Comic Art Supergirl 2.5 Ounce Silver Medal

Coin Details

Description

This 2026 silver medal showcases Supergirl in the United States Mint's Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection, struck as a substantial 2.5-ounce .999 fine silver piece. Supergirl (Kara Zor-El / Kara Danvers) first appeared in Action Comics #252 (May 1959), created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino. Supergirl is Superman's cousin, sent from Krypton as a teenager to protect her infant cousin Kal-El. Arriving on Earth years after Superman was already established, Kara Zor-El possesses the same Kryptonian powers but brings her own perspective as someone who remembers life on their home world. Since her 1959 debut, Supergirl has evolved from a supporting character into a major DC hero in her own right, headlining her own comic series and inspiring a successful television series. The obverse depicts Supergirl in a dynamic pose embodying bravery and grace, rendered in the comic art illustration style established by the program. The reverse features the Supergirl 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. Supergirl launched the 2026 season of the Comic Art program as the year's first character, continuing the series' celebration of DC's most iconic heroes. 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. 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.
