When Ghostbuster first hit the big screen, it was met with a resounding cheer and a few screams. This entertaining movie about chasing ghosts and other supernatural beings in New York City made its big-screen debut in 1984. The movie franchise was rebooted in 2016, with an all-new female cast. The Perth Mint pays tribute to the first Ghostbusters movie, with a themed series of coins. The 2017 Tuvalu Ghostbusters Crew 1 oz Silver Coin is the first design released in the series. Each of the coins is brilliantly colorized and contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure silver.
Highlights:
The original Ghostbusters movie was a box office hit in 1984. The popularity of what is now a cult classic, led producers to release a 1989 sequel called simply Ghostbusters II. The 2017 Tuvalu Ghostbusters Crew 1 oz Silver Coin pays tribute to the original ghost-busting crew, with a full-color design that collectors love.
The movie is set in 1984 and features the three main characters of Ray Stantz, Dr. Peter Venkman, and Dr. Egon Spengler. After a series of events led them to be unemployed, the trio set up their new business in an abandoned firehouse in New York City. Their plan was to tout themselves as experts on the supernatural. What started as a simple experiment to connect with those whove passed on ultimately turned into a terrifying but camp experience for all of Manhattan as legions of ghosts and ghouls were unleashed upon the city.
