The Phantom, The Ghost Who Walks, makes another stunning bullion product appearance. The 2 oz 2023 The Phantom Antiqued Coloured Silver Coin from the Perth Mint is the newest opportunity for fans of the comic character to show their love and support for the character. When opened to reveal the coin, the underside of the lid features the full Skull Mark with eyes that automatically light up. The Phantom is sworn to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty and injustice. Seemingly immortal, having been around since 1536, he is the latest member of a crime-fighting dynasty to adopt the same costumed persona. Written by creator Lee Falk in 1973, the novel’The Story of The Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks’ tells the story of young Kit Walker, who eschews college success to become the 21st Phantom after his father’s death. The Phantom lives in a jungle hideout known as Skull Cave, where all previous Phantoms are buried. Like his predecessors, he relies on his strength, intellect, and legendary immortality to overcome evil. #### ABOUT THE PERTH MINT The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
