2024 1 oz Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 40th Anniversary Silver Coin (BU in Capsule)

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles debuted in 1984 as an independent comic book and grew into one of the most recognized pop culture franchises in the world. Forty years on, the Perth Mint marks the anniversary with an officially licensed silver coin struck for Tuvalu — a sovereign issue that brings Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael together in a single composition on one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver.

Key Features:

• Purity & Weight: 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver
• Face Value: $1 AUD, legal tender of Tuvalu
• Obverse Design: Left-facing effigy of King Charles III by Jody Clark; inscribed “KING CHARLES III,” “TUVALU,” “1oz 9999 Ag,” “2024,” and “1 DOLLAR”
• Reverse Design: All four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in dynamic action poses bursting through a crumbling brick wall; large “40” in graffiti-style lettering at center; “YEARS OF TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES” inscribed below; a New York City rooftop skyline in the background; Perth Mint “P” mintmark at lower left; “© 2024 Viacom Overseas Holdings C.V.” copyright inscription along the lower rim
• Condition: Brilliant Uncirculated, individually encapsulated

The reverse is built around the energy of all four turtles in motion simultaneously — a compositional choice that distinguishes this coin from single-character licensed issues. The four figures burst outward through a crumbling brick wall, each occupying a distinct position in the field. Leonardo leads from the upper left, katana raised. Donatello extends his bo staff across the upper center. Raphael crouches aggressively to the right, sai drawn. Michelangelo swings his nunchaku in the foreground at lower left, closest to the viewer and rendered with the most forward projection. The graffiti-style “40” dominates the lower center field, its stylized letterforms consistent with the street-level aesthetic the franchise established from its earliest comic incarnations. “YEARS OF TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES” is inscribed in a banner below in the franchise’s signature block lettering. Behind the turtles, a rooftop cityscape suggests the New York setting that defines the series without competing with the figures for attention. The relief work throughout is detailed — the turtles’ individual weapon gear, knee and elbow pads, and facial expressions are all clearly differentiated across the composition.

The obverse carries Jody Clark’s effigy of King Charles III — the standard portrait used across current Perth Mint sovereign issues for Tuvalu — with weight, purity, year, and face value inscribed around the border.

Each coin arrives Brilliant Uncirculated in an individual protective capsule, preserving the coin’s surfaces. Official licensing from Viacom Overseas Holdings C.V. is confirmed by the copyright inscription on the reverse.
