Marilyn Monroe (1926 – 1962), previously known as Norma Jeane Baker, has been hailed an American icon, as well as one of the most dazzling actresses in Hollywood history. Making her debut as a fashion model, Monroe kicked off her acting career after landing a film contract in 1946. Over the next 16 years, Monroe starred in a number of famous films including Some Like It Hot, for which she proudly earned a Golden Globe.

Issued in extremely limited quantities by the Perth Mint, the Marilyn Monroe Silver Proof Coin is considered legal tender by the Government of Tuvalu. Once known as the Ellice Islands, Tuvalu is a Polynesian Island located halfway between Hawaii and Australia.

Graded MS70 by NGC–a third party grading service with the worldwide reputation for consistent, accurate grading–each of these silver proof coins pays homage to the late actress’ fascinating, yet often tragic, career.
