New 10z silver Megatron coin

Motto: "Well...I thought it was funny!"
Hi all,
Another day another dollar - or, rather, collectible Transformers $2 coin! This one comes from NZMint here in New Zealand and is the latest in a series of licenced pop culture silver coins (including Disney properties and the DC Universe) and the third Transformers coin to be released after Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

Image

The design on the obverse face has a terrific likeness of G1 cartoon Megatron and a large "1984" across its lower third.

Image

The reverse is dated 2022 but, interestingly, still features the profile of the late Queen Elizabeth II rather than King Charles III. Perhaps this design was in the works before Her Majesty's death in September this year? The coin is valid legal tender in the South Pacific island nation of Niue - it is stamped as $2 Niuean.

Image

The coin looks to be packaged in a fold-open display box, which is decorated with a quite faithful rendition of the original toy's box art. A certificate of authenticity is also included which will state which of the 3000 coins minted has been purchased.

The coin will retail for NZ$159.95.

Given this is the third Transformers coin to be announced by NZMint perhaps the coin collector segment of our fandom is larger than we thought!

Can't wait to buy this on TV in a lot with a triple winged eagle half nickel and an Indian head corn penny.
