Jason Voorhees is one of the rarer villains from horror films of the 1980s. The debut film of the series did not even feature the figure of Jason, but rather, his mother. Mrs. Pamela Voorhees was the murderer in the debut film in 1980, killing teenagers and staff at Camp Crystal Lake in a bid to both exact her revenge and delay the camps reopening. Mrs. Voorhees son, Jason, had previous drowned at the camp as a result of staff negligence. Jason would join the series in the flesh in the 1981 film Friday the 13^th Part 2.

Obverse

On the obverse side of 2022 Friday the 13^th 1 oz Silver Coins, you will find the Public Seal of Niue.

Reverse

Jason debuts in the second of the 12 films of the franchise and goes on to feature directly in all of the films to follow. Between 1980 and 1989, eight films were issued depicting Jason wearing an often bloodied hockey mask on his face.
