The very first release in Agoro’s five-part Garfield Comic Set series celebrates the comic strip that introduced the world to its most famous lasagna-loving cat. Taken directly from 1978, this three-panel design captures cartoonist John Arbuckle introducing himself and Garfield with the earnest promise, “Our only thought is to entertain you.”

Garfield, of course, has other priorities—simply thinking, “I’m hungry.”

Struck from 1oz of 999 pure silver, the collectible faithfully recreates the original full-colour artwork from 1978. Frosted and mirror-finish accents highlight the speech bubbles and key details, adding depth and contrast to this iconic debut moment.

The reverse continues the theme of classic Garfield humour, depicting him happily enjoying a meal with the thought, “Eat. Sleep. There must be more to life, but I hope not.” Engraved alongside are the words “I’m a creature of habit — all the bad ones” and “Vintage Garfield 1978.” The obverse also features the Public Seal of Niue, confirming the piece as legal tender.

With a Legendary Mintage of only 1,000 coins worldwide, each individually numbered, this first release sets the tone for a nostalgic five-part celebration of Garfield’s most iconic moments. Presented in themed Garfield packaging and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, it’s the perfect collectible for fans who appreciate humour, history, and a healthy appetite for silver.
