The classic animated sitcom “The Simpsons” has been broadcasting Halloween episodes — titled after the first such episode as Treehouse of Horror — for an astonishing thirty-two years. Now, the Perth Mint has struck a pure silver collectible to celebrate this monumental spooky-season achievement. It features an image excerpted from one of the show’s famously inventive opening sequences. In this case, it’s an image of a spooky version of a mainstay image from the regular episode openers, featured on the 2022 1 oz Colorized Tuvalu The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Proof Silver Coin now available from Provident Metals.
Coin Highlights:
The 2022 Colorized Tuvalu The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Proof Silver Coin features playful colorized artwork and the mirror-like backdrops of a proof-quality coin. Each coin comes in a presentation case with its own Certificate of Authenticity, and Provident Metals fully insures each shipment against any possibility of loss or damage.
Obverse
The coin’s obverse side features an effigy of the late Queen Elizabeth II, confirming it as legal tender. It includes the inscriptions “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” “1 oz 9999 Ag,” “2022,” “TUVALU,” and “1 DOLLAR.”
Reverse
The reverse side features that image, a colorized picture of the Simpsons family as skeletons on their couch. It’s accompanied by the inscriptions “The Simpsons” and “Treehouse of Horror.”
History
The first “Treehouse of Horror” episode of The Simpsons aired in 1990, kicking off what turned out to be a decades-long tradition of horror, science fiction, and supernatural hijinks. Often garnering the highest ratings of their particular seasons, there have been thirty-two Treehouses of Horror in total, freely parodying every possible pop culture phenomenon they could reach, and frequently featured returning characters who almost always got their fullest treatment in a Halloween context (like the aliens Kang and Kodos. The extraordinary series-within-a-series is going strong to this day.
