Like many superheroes, Spiderman was the outgoing, brave side of an otherwise mild-mannered citizen. Peter Parker, a high school student in New York City living with his elderly aunt and uncle, was bitten by a spider and gained super strength and agility as a result. Creating Spiderman as a teenager superhero was a first in comic books, as many previous teenage characters were relegated to lesser roles as sidekicks or protagonists.
The 2017 1oz Tuvalu Spiderman Marvel Series Silver Coin is the first in a series of Marvel Comic-themed coins to be released. All coins are a product of the Perth Mint in Australia, and subsequent releases have yet to be defined, but are sure to please comic lovers everywhere!
On the reverse of the Tuvalu Spiderman Marvel Series coin is the image of Peter Parker, in his superhero role as Spiderman. Spidey is depicted crouched and ready to sling web as he rushes off to stop a villain. The background field features the image of a web, and includes engravings of the Marvel copyright logo, and the name Spider-Man.
The obverse of the 2017 1 oz Tuvalu Spiderman Marvel Series Silver Coin includes Queen Elizabeth IIs right-profile portrait. This is the fourth-generation image of the Queen on commonwealth coinage, and was created in 1998 by Sir Ian Rank-Broadley.
