The Simpsonsbecame the longest-running scripted primetime show of all time in 2018, and has continued to bring the zany antics of America’s most famous satirical cartoon family to countries around the world since. The family’s hilariously hapless patriarch, Homer Simpson, is one of the best-known comedic characters on the airwaves, working at a safety inspection job for which he is completely unsuited and forever getting himself and his loved ones in humorous predicaments.

Obverse

The coin’s obverse side features the world-famous Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of the late Queen Elizabeth II, which verifies it as legal tender despite its unusual shape. This is accompanied by the inscriptions “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” “TUVALU,” “1 oz 9999 Ag,” “1 DOLLAR,” “2022,” along with a copyright to confirm that it’s an officially-licensed product.

Reverse

The reverse side of this coin is a colorized and sculpted Homer Simpson rendered in a “big head” Chibi caricature style. He wears his signature blue jeans and white shirt, along with a wide-eyed expression familiar from the long-running show.

History

When it pioneered the animated satirical sitcom in 1989,The Simpsonswas almost immediately a hit show, and it went from strength to strength in its early seasons. Still, in those early days, nobody foresaw its becoming the global pop culture phenomenon it is today, seen in almost every country on Earth in 27 languages and having run for over thirty years. As such, the show’s characters are a natural choice to kick off the Minted Mini Series from the Perth Mint: Homer Simpson is one of the first two releases, with the other being his wife Marge, and these coins make a perfect gift for long-time fans and savvy collectors alike.
