Obverse

A profile effigy of Queen Elizabeth II adorns the coin’s obverse side, as seen in British Commonwealth circulation coinage around the globe and first designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. This portrait is joined by the inscriptions ELIZABETH II, NIUE, 25 DOLLARS, and 2022.

Reverse

The coin’s reverse side features a high-relief portrait of Superman in a powerful heroic pose standing alongside his iconic “S”-shaped shield logo. It also carries the trademark and copyright for DC Comics and the inscription 1/4 OZ 9999 FINE GOLD SUPERMAN.

History

Of all the characters celebrated by the New Zealand Mint’s DC Comics collectibles, none is better known than the high-flying Superman. The Man of Steel, created in 1938, first brought together the elements that make up the modern superhero and ever since has been revered by a global fandom that has fueled his dominant presence in media of all types. His innate goodness, devotion to justice, and his mystique as a kind of symbolic “immigrant” from an alien planet have all contributed to the character’s extraordinary longevity.
