The 2014 Niue Marvel Avengers Silver 4-Coin Proof Set celebrates the original quartet of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes with a group of colorized, brilliant proof-quality collectibles.

Obverse

Each coin’s obverse side features a profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as designed in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, verifying them legal tender. This is surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE,” “TWO DOLLARS,” and “2014.”

Reverse

Each coin’s reverse side bears a brilliant colorized portrait of an Avenger, each in a distinctive action pose. Captain America appears wielding his shield, the Hulk smashes through a wall, Thor flourishes his divine hammer Mjolnir, and Iron Man can be seen soaring high above the Earth with a hand extended and ready to fire a force beam.

History

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has made the Avengers into a major pop culture presence, but they were popular in the pages of comic books long before, with The Avengers being one of Marvel Comics’ best-selling titles consistently across decades. Each of the four founding heroes had made their own earlier debuts — with the oldest and the First Avenger being Captain America, who first appeared in 1941 — but their team up in 1963 brought them to a new level and made them into household names for kids of all ages across generations since.
