2019 2 oz. Simpsons Family Silver Proof Coin

The Simpsons started off on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987 as a 30-second segment. Two years later, it became a half hour series. The rest, as they say, is history. The show’s popularity exploded, and it remains on the air today in sixty countries and in twenty languages. In 2018, the show celebrated perhaps its biggest milestone yet, when it became TV history’s longest running scripted prime time show. Perth Mint now offers fans of the show the chance to get a coin with one of TV history’s most famous families. Struck from two ounces of .9999 fine silver, this coin has a limited mintage of just 2,000 pieces.

Celebrating The Simpsons

Tuvalu issued two coins in February of 2019 to celebrate the iconic show. This is the largest of the two, as the other, the Simpson's Donut Silver Proof Coin, is a one-ounce coin. Both coins have extremely limited mintages. For collectors and other avid fans of the series, these two pieces fall firmly into the “must have” category.

Ian Rank-Broadley’s right-side effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which has featured on Australian coins since 1997, dominates the obverse. He shows the monarch wearing a tiara. Along the rim are three sets of inscriptions. To the left are the coin’s weight, purity, and date, “2 OZ 9999 AG 2019.” The monarch’s name, “ELIZABETH II,” is at the top. The coin’s country, “TUVALU,” and face value, “2 DOLLARS,” round out the rim inscriptions on the right.

The Simpson family features in vivid color on the reverse. Marge, with her characteristic tall blue hair, stands behind Homer with her hand on his shoulder. Homer has his hand on Bart’s head, and Lisa hugs their dog, Santa’s Little Helper. Maggie pulls Homer’s pantleg, and the family’s cat, Snowball II, stands behind her. In the background is their home at 742 Evergreen Terrace. Matt Groening’s signature is in the lower left, and the iconic “P” mint mark of the Perth Mint appears next to the garage on the right.
