$39.15This brand new 2022 1 oz Silver Tuvalu John Wayne Colorized Proof is produced by Australia Perth Mint for the island country of Tuvalu and officially licensed by John Wayne Enterprises, LLC.
It is no stretch to acknowledge John Wayne as an American legend. He starred in no less than 140 movies, beginning with the 1930 hit, "The Big Trail." His final film was 46 years later, starting in one of his most acclaimed performances, "The Shootist."
As noted by the mint, "Celebrating John Wayne's enduring impact on world film, this 1 oz silver coin depicts the beloved actor in his iconic cowboy hat as king of the westerns... One of the most enduringly popular actors of the 20th century, John Wayne is remembered as a Hollywood icon."
As a legal tender release by Tuvalu, the obverse displays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Inscriptions encircling the rim include, "QUEEN ELIZABETH II . 1 oz 9999 Ag. 2022. TUVALU. 1 DOLLAR."
The reverse features a remarkably detailed depiction of John Wayne, pictured in his iconic cowboy hat and bandana, riding on horseback. Desert fauna, including the ubiquitous Saguaro cactus, are present in the background. The colorization of Wayne's and his horse's image is absolutely striking. It looks like Wayne and his horse are about to emerge from the coin! The single inscription along most of the rim is "TOMORROW HOPES WE HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING FROM YESTERDAY" and a stylized "JW" hovers in the upper left portion of the picture. The overall design is truly worthy of the legacy of John Wayne.
