1431) World Emoji Day (17.07), Tuvalu: A $1 (One Dollar) Silver Proof Coin with applied colour minted by the Perth Mint, Australia, on behalf of Tuvalu: Date/Year of coin issue: 17.07.2020:
The Treasury of Tuvalu has released on 17.07.2020, new Silver Proof Coloured Coins which commemorate Emoji.
The colourful coins have been issued on World Emoji Day, which is an unofficial holiday celebrated on 17th July every year, which for Emoji enthusiasts is considered to be a "global celebration of Emoji".
The Emoji Day was first celebrated in 2014 by Jeremy Burge - the London-based founder of "Emojipedia". The popular little icons used in everyday emails and text messages have in a real sense, become their own language.
Emerging from early email correspondences, these ideograms and smileys referred to as "emoticons", used in electronic massages and web pages, came from putting together combinations of keyboard punctuation characters to denote various emotions and feelings, usually ones of positivity.
The combination, for instance, of the colon ":" and the right parenthesis ")" was adopted as expressing a smile and often included in sentences.
Emoticons are attributed to Scott Fahlman, a computer scientist and Professor Emeritus at Carnegie Mellon University, who included a series of punctuation marks in his programming in 1982. However, this form of communication is also traced back to programming originated on the PLATO IV computer system in 1972.
Over time, the typographic approximations which made up emoticons evolved into a more complex series of images and icons, which became more detailed and specific.
By 1997, the term "Emoji", which is Japanese in origin, entered the lexicon and came into use. The series of small images were prominently included on Japanese mobile phones and ultimately made their way into most brands and models.
Many users of Unicode - a standard set of alphabetical and numerical code charts used for visual reference - have become adept at inserting emojis without having to select a picture from a selection usually pre-programmed into computers, cell phones or social media platforms.
Emojis have essentially become big business with a publication of sentiment analysis in 12/2015 ranking Emojis according to their use and popularity.
Emojis are very much a part of pop-culture, which was propelled further in 2016 when a musical about the little pictograms premiered in Los Angeles. They hit the big-time, when, in the summer of 2017, a computer animated feature film titled "The Emoji Movie" was released in theatres.
Presently, there is a huge selection of around 3,304 Emojis in the Unicode Standard to choose from. As of 03/2020, an additional 117 Emojis were added and now include sequences for gender, skin tone, flags, bubble tea, pinched fingers, ninja, piñata and various animals and insects.
There is also a coin Emoji which is an image of a single Gold Coin and this Emoji is sent to suggest a "coin-flip" to decide which of two options to choose from.
The Commemorative Coin:
The Perth Mint has brought out this Coin on behalf of the Treasury of Tuvalu, in the South Pacific and minted the coins at its facility in Western Australia.
The Reverse of the $1 (One Dollar) Silver Proof Coin with applied colour depicts in vivid colour, many of the popular and newest Emojis relating to celebrations including the party face with a hat, the party popper, the birthday cake, balloons, drinks, the unicorn, the monkey and the person raising a hand.
Also included in the design is the Emoji logo and the Perth Mint's "P" mint mark at centre right.
The Obverse of the $1 (One Dollar) Silver Proof Coin with applied colour shows an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials "IRB" appear below the Queen's neck.
The peripheral inscriptions are - "QUEEN ELIZABETH II. 1 DOLLAR. TUVALU. 2020. 1 OZ 9999 Ag".
The specifications of this Silver Proof Coin are:
Denomination: $1 (One Dollar); Metal Composition: .9999 Fineness Silver (Ag); Weight: 31.107 grams or 1.0 Oz; Diameter/Size: 40.9 mm; Thickness: 3.50 mm; Coin Quality: Proof with applied colour; Mintage: 5,000 pieces; Designer: Aleysha Howarth; Year: 2020.
