3106) The Pink Panther, Tuvalu Island: 60 Years of the mischievous Cartoon Character (1963-2023): The Perth Mint, Australia has issued a $1 (One Dollar) Silver Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) Coin on behalf of the Treasury of Tuvalu which celebrates the milestone : Date/Year of Coin issue: 2024:
The Header/Banner presents the Obverse and Reverse of the $1 (One Dollar) Silver Coin against a background representation of the 60 Years of the Pink Panther character.
The Perth Mint, in coordination with the Treasury of Tuvalu Island, has issued new Silver Coins marking the 60th Anniversary of the debut of the first Pink Panther motion picture film.
The Pink Panther is one of the world’s most iconic and beloved cartoon characters with a truly international following.
The prowling Pink Panther was seen as an introductory animation in the classic 1963 comedy-mystery of the same name starring Peter Sellers who immortalised the role of the bumbling Inspector Jacques Clousseau.
The comedy film made its debut in 1963 with a storyline centred on the infamous cat-burglar jewel thief Sir Charles Lytton, nicknamed “the Phantom,” and his plan to steal the Pink Panther diamond from a princess vacationing at an exclusive French skiing resort.
The suave and mischievous panther is adored by people of all generations as a symbol of humour and fun. The animated character developed into Saturday morning cartoons in the United States in September 1969 for 10 years.
The film franchise also enjoyed further success with Director Blake Edwards releasing a further eight films, five including appearances with Peter Sellers, who died in 1980.
The last film sequel in the story of the Pink Panther was released in 2009 with an updated cast, but the cartoon character has remained unchanged and just as popular.
The Silver Coin:
The Reverse of the $1 (One Dollar) Silver Coin portrays the Pink Panther standing nonchalantly with his thumbs up alongside the official "60 YEARS" celebration logo.
Also included in the design is an array of paw prints as part of the background.
The Obverse of the $1 (One Dollar) Silver Coin includes an effigy of Late Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.
Under the Queen’s effigy are her years of reign, "1952 – 2022".
The coin’s specifications "1 oz 9999 Ag, 2024, TUVALU," and "1 DOLLAR" are engraved on the outer periphery.
The specifications of the 1 (One) Peso Silver Coin are:
Country of issue: Argentina; Date/Year: 2024; Coin Theme: "60th Anniversary of the Pink Panther"; Denomination/Face Value: One Dollar; Metal Composition: .9999 Fineness Silver (Ag); Weight: 1.00 Oz or 31.1 grams; Coin Quality: Brilliant Uncirculated (BU); Minted By: The Perth Mint, in coordination with the Treasury of Tuvalu Island; Designer: Lucas Bowers; Mintage: 1,000 pieces.
