Silver Coin Tuvalu Homer Simpson 1 oz 2019 brings the humour of The Simpsons to silver. Homer and the doughnut incorporated into the inscription “D’OH!” create an instantly recognisable theme for animation enthusiasts.

Silver and a collectible theme

The 2019 issue recalls the 30th anniversary of The Simpsons’ debut as a standalone television series. Created by Matt Groening, Homer is a central figure in the Springfield family. The coin pairs popular culture with the one-ounce silver format and can complement a collection of screen characters.
