2024 Niue $2 1-oz Silver COMIX™ X-Men #1 Colorized Proof

The Legendary Comic Book That Introduced The World To The Uncanny X-Men!

The X-Men made their debut in 1963 with The X-Men #1, a groundbreaking comic book that introduced readers to a team of mutants led by Professor Charles Xavier, each possessing unique abilities. This innovative comic not only showcased iconic characters like Cyclops and Jean Grey but also explored themes of prejudice and acceptance, setting the stage for decades of storytelling within the Marvel Universe. For the cover price of 12 cents, readers got to see the first appearance of what would go on to become one of the most recognizable superhero teams in comics. Today, that same issue in mint condition has an estimated worth of more than $500,000! Now the cover of the scintillating comic book has been reproduced in full color on a limited-edition coin. Struck in a Troy ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, it’s the latest release in the renowned New Zealand Mint’s COMIX™ series!

Superheroes That Reflected The Current Events Of The 1960s

Published by Marvel Comics in September of 1963, The X-Men #1 was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. Lee said he conceived the idea for the X-Men in response to the civil rights movement, wanting to create a superhero team that reflected the struggles of marginalized groups. He imagined mutants as a metaphor for diversity, showcasing characters who faced prejudice and discrimination for being different. This innovative approach not only resonated with readers but also helped redefine the superhero genre, emphasizing themes of acceptance and understanding. Lee devised the series title after Marvel publisher Martin Goodman turned down the initial name, “The Mutants,” because he thought readers would not know what a mutant was. Instead, Lee simply named the team after their leader, Professor Charles Xavier.

The X-Men Square Off Against Magneto In The Mighty Marvel Style!

This rectangular-shaped coin shows Cyclops, Jean Grey (known then as Marvel Girl), Beast, Iceman, and Angel squaring off against evil mutant mastermind the Magneto. To further mimic the original comic book, the coin has been colorized on four sides to represent the cover, spine, and pages. Small flashes of silver have been left on the cover to catch the light! This legal-tender $2 coin was also struck in gorgeous Proof condition meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
