Each of the core cast of the hit sitcomFriendshad their own unique appeal. With Joey Tribbiani, that appeal came both from his comedic flaws as a career-driven but a none-too-bright actor with a habit of self-sabotage, and from his virtues as a good-natured, upbeat everyman who was endearingly goofy and always loyal to his friends. All in all, he was a persistent source of some of the show’s funniest running gags and is now commemorated by the New Zealand Mint with the fifth entry in the FRIENDSChibi Coin series: the 2022 Niue Chibi Friends Joey Shaped 1 oz Silver Coin.

Obverse

A long-familiar profile portrait of Elizabeth II, as seen on many Commonwealth coins, appears on the coin’s obverse side to confirm that it’s legal tender. It’s joined by the inscriptions “Elizabeth II,” “Niue,” “2022,” and “2 Dollars,” as well as Warner Brothers’ trademark and copyright and confirmation of the coin’s silver content.

Reverse

Joey Tribbiani comprises the coin’s unusually shaped reverse side as a brightly colorized and shaped sculpture in the Japanese-inspired Chibi or “big head” style of a caricature. He’s casually attired and holds the pet duck he acquired in an early season of Friends.

History

The popularity of Joey Tribbiani as a character is attested by his becoming the only core cast member who got a spinoff show after the end ofFriends.The fan-favorite and lovable goofball was played by Matt LeBlanc, whose idea it was to humanize the character with his endearing dim-wittedness, though he occasionally showed touches of unexpected wisdom despite his flaws. An actor perpetually on the verge of success, Joey endured his many setbacks with a cheerful demeanor and stood by his friends through thick and thin. No coin series celebrating the show would be complete without him.
