The Phantom, sworn to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty, and injustice, was created by cartoonist Lee Falk in 1936. Seemingly immortal, having been around since 1536, the superhero is in fact the 21st member of a crime-fighting dynasty who all adopt the same costumed-persona.
The Phantom lives in a jungle hideout known as Skull Cave, where all previous Phantoms are buried. Like his predecessors, he relies on his strength, intellect, and legendary immortality to overcome evil.
The reverse of the character-shaped coin portrays a stylised representation of The Phantom in colour. The obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II supplemented with the dates of her reign ‘1952-2022’, as well as the coin’s weight, fineness, monetary denomination, and 2023 year-date.
Each coin is presented in a clear acrylic case, allowing both sides of the coin to be displayed, and is packaged within a themed shipper. The coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
