1 Dollar Superman

Part of the licensed DC Comics bullion series, this issue arrived during a period when sovereign mints across the Pacific — Samoa, Niue, Tuvalu — were aggressively competing for the collectible bullion market by securing entertainment IP agreements. Samoa's arrangement with Warner Bros. gave it access to the full DC roster, and Superman was an obvious first-tier choice.

The KM#622 assignment places it firmly within the modern commemorative surge that followed the 2010s bullion boom.
