Description
This 2018 $20 fine silver coin features a collectable tribute to the Justice League™ comic book based characters. Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions. Mintage is limited to just 7,500. As a pure silver coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
Exclusively designed by Canadian comic book artist Jason Fabok, the original art on the reverse features two members of the Justice League in an action pose. Rushing forward towards the viewer, Wonder Woman wields her sword and shield, ready to counter any threat. The Flash joins in the rush behind her; tapping into the Speed Force, the speedster’s movements are so fast that they generate a visible blue lightning that surrounds him. Fabok’s artwork is brought to life by the rich, vibrant colours of Canadian colorist Brad Anderson, with a special colour application that creates the effect of an ethereal motion trail behind The Flash. In the background, the frosted look of laser-engraved polygon shapes creates a “shattered glass” effect that adds to the feeling of movement within the design.
