2026 Comic Art Supergirl Clad Medal

Coin Details

Description

This clad medal features Supergirl from the United States Mint's Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection, produced in the same half-dollar-sized format used for the program's base metal offerings. 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 clad medal matches the specifications of a United States half dollar in composition (8.33% nickel, balance copper), diameter (30.61 mm / 1.205 inches), and weight (11.340 grams). It features a plain edge and is not legal tender. The clad medal is expected to be sold as part of a three-medal set alongside the other 2026 characters, following the format established by the 2025 set. The clad medal format makes the Comic Art program accessible to the widest possible audience, with base metal composition keeping the price point affordable for casual collectors, fans, and younger audiences. 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. 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. The half-dollar-sized clad medals provide a compact and affordable entry into the Comic Art collection, preserving the same designs as their precious metal counterparts in an accessible format.
