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. With arms outstretched wide, the caped figure of Batman is followed closely by a flurry of bats in flight, and by the trident-wielding Aquaman behind him. Both are wearing alternate versions of their iconic costumes: Batman is attired in an upgraded costume equipped with tactical armour and goggles; in contrast, the tattooed Aquaman has eschewed full garb in favour of shoulder armour and forearm guards. Fabok’s artwork is brought to life by the rich, vibrant colours of Canadian colorist Brad Anderson, while a special colour application adds a water-like effect to Aquaman’s appearance and a leather-like effect to Batman’s costume. 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.
