The Phantom, sworn to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty and injustice, was created by Lee Falk in 1936. Seemingly immortal, having been around since 1536, he 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.
Featured in The Phantom, the most widely-read superhero comic in the world, the anti-crime crusader is also a star of film, television, and video games.
The coin portrays a coloured image of The Phantom, the inscriptions ‘THE PHANTOM’ and ‘THE GHOST WHO WALKS’, and a background representing Skull Cave. Also included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is housed in a black and purple circular presentation case. The top of the lid features a composite image of The Phantom’s masked face and his Skull Mark. When opened to reveal the coin, the underside of the lid features the full Skull Mark with eyes that automatically light up.
The special case comes in a box shipper with a purple, metallic-like finish on the lid. The shipper lid also features a varnished version of The Phantom’s Skull Mark.
