2025 Niue $10 5-oz Silver 90 Years of DC Comics – Action Comics #1 Gilded Proof

Celebrating 90 Years Of DC Comics

The Golden Era of DC Comics was the ultimate superhero growth spurt, where capes, tights, and a healthy dose of moral absolutism turned every issue into a high-flying adventure–even if the villains were more interested in exposing secret identities than achieving world domination. Founded in 1934 under the name National Allied Publications, DC Comics is today one of the largest and most influential comic book publishers in the world. To pay tribute to DC Comics, the prestigious New Zealand Mint is releasing a new series that celebrates The Golden Era of DC Comics. The first release in the series is this incredible coin struck in five ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and gilded in gleaming gold. And to really kick off the series, it features the image of Action Comics #1, DC's landmark moment in 1938 that introduced the world to Superman, the first superhero in comic book history!

DC Comics And The Golden Age Of American Comics

American historians generally divide 20th-century American comics history chronologically into ages with the Golden Age encompassing the first appearance of Superman in 1938 to the introduction of the Comics Code in 1954. Initially focused on publishing pulp magazines and comic books, DC adopted the name "DC" as an abbreviation of "Detective Comics," which was the title of one of its most successful series featuring Batman. Over the decades, DC Comics introduced an iconic roster of superheroes, including Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman, shaping popular culture and establishing the foundation for modern superhero storytelling. Today, DC Comics is known for its vast and interconnected universe of heroes, villains, and epic storylines, maintaining a major presence in both comic books and the broader media world.
