2018 Tuvalu 1 Dollar 1-oz Silver Black Panther NGC PF70UCAM First Releases - Black

The Marvel Proof Series Launches with Wakanda's Royal Superhero!

Driven by justice, armed with a genius intellect and possessing fighting skills that are second to none, T'Challa was already a remarkable Wakandan prince. But when the nefarious Ulysses Klaw took the life of his father T'Chaka, the young scion began a journey that would make him more than a king -- it would transform him into the heroic Black Panther! Flanked by his all-female crew of guards, the Dora Milaje, this key member of the Avengers does whatever is necessary to protect the people of his kingdom.

A beloved Marvel superhero since his debut in 1966, Black Panther made his first Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance in 2016's Captain America: Civil War. Now, to herald the release of his own highly-awaited self-titled film in 2018, Australia's Perth Mint is making Black Panther the first star of their Marvel Proof Series!

• DYNAMIC DESIGN! -- Featuring a different design than the Black Panther Silver Bullion Coin released earlier in 2018, this proof presents the Wakandan king as seen in his 2018 Marvel Studios film. Sporting a vibranium suit and brandishing his claws, this coin's design has Black Panther ready to strike, wreathed by an intricate Wakandan pattern and joined with the 2018 film's logo.

• PHENOMENAL PERTH MINT DETAIL! -- Like the silver bullion releases that came before it, this Black Panther proof brilliantly exhibits the extraordinary talent of the Perth Mint. Each begins as a hand-selected planchet of highly-pure 99.99% fine silver. Then, multiple strikes from polished dies transform each silver blank into a highly detailed proof featuring razor-sharp frosted details and mirror-like fields. Right after that, the Perth Mint's artisans use state-of-the-art technology to give vivid color to both the Black Panther and his logo. Detailed shading gives T'Challa an incredible amount of depth, as if he's leaping out of the coin!

• SUPERB SILVER LEGAL TENDER -- Officially licensed by Marvel, each 2018 Black Panther Proof is one dollar legal tender for the island nation of Tuvalu, as seen on the coin's obverse along with Ian Rank-Broadley's profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

• CERTIFIED FLAWLESS -- Your coin will also come certified Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70 UC) by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a distinction that means your perfectly graded 2018 Black Panther Proof will have ZERO imperfections -- showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended! In addition, your Black Panther Proof will be certified First Releases (FR) by NGC, meaning that it was among the first struck by the mint and was verified within the first 30 days of issue. Finally, your coin will be sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a black display core and special Marvel label, giving you the best in protection while granting clear sightlines and perfect visual contrast for every beautiful detail.

• A LIMITED-MINTAGE PREMIER! -- For this first release of their Marvel Proof Series, the Perth Mint has set a strict mintage limit of only 2,500 coins!

You read that correctly -- only 2,500 proofs will be available to the millions of Black Panther fans around the world! Whether you're already a Marvel Bullion Series collector that's ready for a brand-new proof adventure or you've just discovered these coins for the very first time, a massive Marvel maniac or a Silver Surfer . . . er, silver STACKER, this 2018 Black Panther Bullion Proof is one not to miss -- sharpen your claws and click some to your cart now!
