2022 1oz Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny Silver Coin
Product Overview
The 2022 1oz Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny Silver Coin brings one of animation's most recognisable characters to precious metals in an officially licensed Looney Tunes release.
Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the coin features Bugs Bunny in his classic pose with his trademark carrot, set against the familiar concentric circles associated with Looney Tunes. The combination of an iconic pop-culture character and a traditional one-ounce silver format gives this release appeal to both coin collectors and fans of classic animation.
Issued as $5 legal tender of Samoa, the Brilliant Uncirculated release has a limited worldwide mintage of just 15,000 coins. Each coin comes individually encapsulated to help protect its finish during handling and storage.
