DESIGN
Established with firm Canadian roots, Superman was the first Super Hero, spawning countless new characters in the DC COMICS™ pantheon. He was the inspiration for a new archetype that not only still exists today, but is more popular than ever. Many important Canadian visionaries continue to shape the DC Comics Universe even today, lending their talents as storytellers and further building on the history that began in 1938.
The reverse design features a dual image that shifts between two ultra-modern, stylized silhouettes of Superman and Batman. The first image plays with light and shadows to present the silhouette of Superman in motion, his cape spread out behind him as he sails through the air and into action. Negative space within Superman’s silhouette cleverly uses the red background to recreate the red S-shield that is famously emblazoned across Superman’s chest. As the coin is tipped, lenticular technology causes the image to change to a second frame, which is a silhouette of Batman against a dark grey background. The cape that stretches from one side of the coin to the other is now webbed, as a bat’s wings would be. The white of Batman’s eyes emerge from the pointed cowl, while the physique that previously bore Superman’s iconic symbol is now filled in as Batman springs into action in the shadows.
