Looney Tunes Wile E. Coyote silver coin (2023 New Zealand Mint)
Who doesn’t love Looney Tunes? Widely considered the best classic animated universe ever produced, and in my view, leagues above Disney’s saccharin nonsense, the pantheon of characters is just completely unique. One of the favourites has got to be the brilliant Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons. Documenting the one-sided battle of wits between a hapless coyote and his potential dinner, it’s a marvel of comedy, unmatched to this day.
The ACME toting coyote often ends up face-planted into a cliff face, and the coin has chosen that comical image for its coin. To enhance the look, the silhouette of Wile E. is a cut-out right through the coin. Extra kudos from us for putting all that copyright/trademark rubbish on the obverse face out of the way. It makes the main, reverse face so much cleaner. Do this on every coin, please.
It’s an ounce of 0.999 silver, proof-finished (although it looks antiqued in the images), and with a mintage of 2,000 pieces. The packaging is perfect, the wooden crate the mint has used on other series before, now sports ACME branding. Available now.
