The United States Mint has revealed a set of candidate designs for their upcoming series of Superman coins and medals which are the first in a new series celebrating comic book art as a uniquely American artform, featuring DC comic book characters and art.
The new series will feature nine iconic superheroes depicted on 24-karat gold coins, .999 fine silver medals, and non-precious metal (clad) medals. Debuting in summer 2025 with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, the three-year series will include six additional DC characters - three each in 2026 and 2027.
Once the candidate designs are finalized, all obverses (heads side) of the coins and medals for this program will be designed and sculpted by United States Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna. Each of the reverses (tails side) will be designed by one of the Mint's Medallic Artists under Menna's art direction.
