The United States Mint Will Release Superman Coins and Medals in 2025

This initiative, developed in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, celebrates iconic superheroes and aims to engage a broader audience in numismatics.

The U.S. Mint is launching a new Comic Art Coin and Medal Program in 2025 with the release of a limited-edition Superman coin and silver medals, as part of a broader initiative to engage new audiences in numismatics.

This program, created in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, will celebrate some of DC's most iconic superheroes over a three-year period, kicking off with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Each year will feature three new characters in a variety of collectibles.

The new coin and medal designs were reviewed by the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) on Sept. 19 and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) on Sept. 24. Both panels approved the U.S. Mint's submissions, offering minor suggestions for improvement.

The coin and medal designs were first previewed in January.

The obverse (heads side), designed by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna, showcases Superman soaring high above his family farm. This symbolizes the values of truth, justice, and the American way that were instilled in him by his adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent. The coin will bear the standard "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" mottoes, along with the year "2025." The silver medals will include "LIBERTY" and "2025," while the clad medal will feature "LIBERTY."

"As both the Chief Engraver and a lifelong comic book fan, it’s my greatest pleasure to see the Superman medal struck," Menna said. "The Superman medal represents the strength we have in all of us, that we can all be Super Heroes."

The reverse (tails side), designed by Mint Medallic Artist Joseph V. Norwegian, portrays a young Clark Kent lost in thought as his father, a stoic figure, looks on. This design highlights the duality of Superman's identity as both a powerful alien and a small-town boy.

The coin will also bear the full U.S. indication, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," and the motto, "E PLURIBUS UNUM," in addition to the coin's denomination, "$50," weight, "½ oz.," and metal purity, ".9999 fine gold."

The silver medals will display "LIBERTY" and "2025," while the clad medal will feature the words "SUPERMAN, HOPE, AND STRENGTH."

The U.S. Mint’s Comic Art series plans to feature three DC characters annually over three years, merging pop culture with a unique take on coins and medals.

This year's installment will showcase Superman, Batman (see Batman recommended designs) and Wonder Woman (see Wonder Woman recommended designs). Each year's releases will include gold and silver versions, with matching clad medals likely issued the following year. All gold coins and silver medals will be accompanied by a serialized Certificate of Authenticity. The U.S. Mint has previously indicated that the gold coin and larger 2.5-ounce silver medal will likely have mintage limits and restricted availability, while the 1-ounce silver and clad medals are expected to have no such limits on mintage or sales duration.
