About the Design:
The coin’s image, provided by Warner Bros., brings together some of the principal Looney Tunes characters framed in concentric circles, much like the end credits after each cartoon that were accompanied by the line “That’s all Folks!”. Beautifully detailed engraving and spectacular color bring this design to life, with dynamic movement created by the characters as they appear to be emerging from the centre opening. As the star of the 'show', Bugs Bunny is the center focus; with one hand leaning on the circle, he confidently smiles his wide, buck-toothed grin as his other gloved hand reaches out toward the viewer. The other characters are sometimes portrayed as antagonists: there’s Wile E. Coyote just over Bugs’ right shoulder, as he looks off the side and waves a closed fist in the air; above him stands Tasmanian Devil with his arms raised and mouth open; next to him is Daffy, who bears an expression of defiant outrage as he also stands with fists clenched; finally, there’s the calmly villainous space character known as Marvin the Martian, who lifts his thumb up as he scrutinizes something in the distance.
Packaging:
Each coin is encapsulated, and presented in a premium fire-branded wooden case with graphic beauty box.
