Tuvalu: Aretha Franklin coloured 1 oz Silver 2024 Proof

The Tuvalu Collectible: Aretha Franklin Colored 1 oz Silver 2024 Proof honors Aretha Franklin, the American singer, songwriter, and pianist known as the "Queen of Soul." Born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee, she gained fame in the 1960s with hits like "Respect," "Chain of Fools," and "Natural Woman."

This unique 2024 edition is a one-ounce coin struck from pure silver with a fineness of .9999, presented in proof quality with a limited mintage of just 5,000 pieces. Coins minted in proof standard feature a mirror-like finish on both the reverse and obverse sides.

The coin was produced by Australia's oldest mint, The Perth Mint, on behalf of the nation of Tuvalu, with the Tuvalu government acting as the guarantor. Additionally, the silver coin is delivered in a plastic capsule, accompanied by an exclusive case and a certificate of authenticity.

Obverse features King Charles III of the United Kingdom, designed by Dan Thorne, along with information about the year of minting, fineness, weight, and the issuing country.

Reverse of the silver coin depicts Aretha Franklin with the inscription "ARETHA".
