U.S. Mint Showcases Comic Art Designs at ANA World’s Fair of Money

A Historic Announcement at the ANA World’s Fair of Money

At the 2025 American Numismatic Association (ANA) World’s Fair of Money® in Oklahoma City, the U.S. Mint unveiled the highly anticipated designs for Batman™ and Wonder Woman™ in its Comic Art Coin and Medal Program. This program marks a groundbreaking fusion of pop culture and numismatics, celebrating comic art as a uniquely American art form and extending the legacy of coin collecting into bold new territory.

A Program Rooted in Storytelling

The Comic Art Coin and Medal Program began in July 2025 with Superman™, the first Super Hero to appear in the series. His release was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, affirming the Mint’s mission to connect generations through art and history.

“This groundbreaking and historic series is more than a celebration of comic book heroes - it’s a tribute to the enduring power of storytelling,” said Kristie McNally, Acting Director of the Mint. “By honoring these legendary characters on coins and medals, we’re connecting generations through art, history, and imagination.”

Adding authority to this vision is Mint Chief Engraver Joseph F. Menna, whose career spans more than 30 years. A globally recognized digital sculptor and classical artist, Menna has sculpted many of the Mint’s most celebrated modern designs. His work ensures the Comic Art Program balances artistry, symbolism, and technical excellence.

Batman™ Arrives September 25, 2025

The Dark Knight takes center stage as the program’s second release. Batman’s™ design conveys his resilience, intellect, and moral courage.

• Obverse: Batman™ leaps into action across Gotham City, flanked by a stone eagle carved with “LIBERTY.”

• Reverse: A dramatic silhouette of Batman™ stands against the skyline while the Bat-Signal shines overhead.

These designs, crafted and sculpted by Menna, will appear on ½ oz 24K gold coins, 2.5 oz silver medals, and 1 oz silver medals. Batman™ officially launches on September 25, 2025.

Wonder Woman™ to Follow in Fall 2025

Later in the fall, Wonder Woman™ joins the series, embodying empowerment, compassion, and justice.

• Obverse: Wonder Woman™ charges forward with shield and Lasso of Truth, with American flag-inspired stripes in the background.

• Reverse: Three doves soar above Earth as Wonder Woman™ stands as an ambassador of peace and equality.

These designs were created by sculptor Phebe Hemphill and engraved by Menna, reinforcing Wonder Woman’s™ role as a global symbol of courage and compassion. This design will also be issued as ½ oz 24K gold coins, 2.5 oz silver medals, and 1 oz silver medals.

Looking Ahead: More Heroes on the Horizon

The Mint also revealed the next six DC Super Heroes™ scheduled for release:

2026:

• Supergirl™: A symbol of strength and compassion, balancing extraordinary power with a deeply human heart.

• Robin™: Courageous and quick-thinking, the trusted ally who brings energy and determination to every battle.
