2016 80th Anniversary of The Phantom 1oz Fine Silver Medallion Collectible

Celebrating the 80th anniversary of one of the world’s longest running adventure comic strips, The Phantom. The Perth Mint created this official licenced silver medallion. We say medallion but it does in fact have a denomination of 100 dollars or bengalla. Bengalla is the fictitious currency in The Phantom’s fictitious African country home.

The Phantom is an immensely popular comic strip about a costumed crime-fighter living deep in the African jungle. Created by Lee Falk in 1936, The Phantom began as a daily newspaper comic strip, before being included as a Sunday strip, and was later adapted for television, film, and video games. It remains in print and is read by millions of people all over the world, every day.

The medallion’s reverse features a colour representation of The Phantom in action in the jungle with his wolf Devil and Skull Cave in the background.
The obverse of the medallion features The Phantom with his arms crossed along with The Phantom logo and a skull.

The coin is housed in a replica of The Phantom’s ‘Skull Cave’ which lights up when the mouth of the cave is opened, inside a themed shipper. Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
