Oscar-worthy coins!
2026
Among the many countries in the world, Tuvalu holds a unique position: a small Pacific island nation, it entrusts the minting of its coins to Australia’s Perth Mint. In recent years, the Mint has transformed these coins into genuine collector's items for fans of movies, TV series, and cartoons, as well as for traditional numismatists.
The year 2026 brings three releases that perfectly illustrate this dual nature.
The first is dedicated to "Stranger Things: Hawkins", a direct tribute to one of the most beloved series of recent years—set in the very fictional town that gives the coin its name. It is a one-dollar coin with a mintage of 5,000 pieces, already highly sought after by fans of the saga.
For animation lovers, there is a trio of "Peppa Pig" dollar coins, designed to introduce younger audiences to the world of collecting or simply to celebrate one of contemporary television's most iconic characters.
The most prestigious offering is "Dune: House Atreides", featuring the Oscar-winning film saga on an official 15.55-gram .999 fine silver coin dedicated to one of the most fascinating noble houses in the entire Dune universe. With a mintage of just 2,500 pieces, this release stands out for its high-quality finish and a subject that appeals to both collectors and film enthusiasts alike.
Three different coins, yet a single common thread: Tuvalu’s ability to transform a passion for a film, series, or character into a genuine collector's item—authenticated by an official mint and made even more valuable by limited mintage.
