The premise of the movie was complex but intriguing: Thousands of years ago, five African tribes fought over the ownership of a meteorite that crashed in Africa. The meteorite contained a rare element - vibranium. This element when ingested, gave that person super-human powers. The warrior who tried it was able to unite four of the five tribes and he created the kingdom of Wakanda. Having vibranium allowed Wakanda to develop an advanced technological benefit, which it kept secret for centuries, by pretending to be a poor, disadvantaged nation and by keeping its technology invisible.
EARLY BLACK PANTHER COINS
Black Panther fans were able to collect and enjoy movie and superhero memorabilia and sovereign nation coins before the release of the original movie in 2018. In 2016, with the release of Captain America: Civil War, retailers developed sovereign nation coinage to honor these superheroes. The island of Fiji authorized a set of six coins of the stars of that movie: Captain America, Iron Man, Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Silver Falcon and Black Panther. There were five coins, one of which was a two-ounce coin with Captain America on one half and Iron Man on the other half. This coin could be split into two pieces, each containing a superhero and one troy ounce of Silver, for a total of Six Troy Ounces.
All of these coins were authorized by Fiji, contained one troy ounce of .999 Fine Silver, bore a $1 denomination, and the Coat of Arms of Fiji. The coins were struck as Brilliant Proof Coins and were colorized. The coins were shipped in individualized tins and all were included in a Captain America: Civil War metal lunchbox. There were two 23" x 33" movie posters also included with this set. The total mintage was only 3,000 of each coin, meaning that only 3,000 collectors worldwide could ever own a set of these coins. Today, the complete set is offered, when it is available, at well over $1,000.
