Obverse

The obverse of the 2025 Niue Silver 90 Years of DC Golden Era Detective Comics #27 Coin showcases the Public Seal of Niue. The seal consists of a ring of 14 seashells surrounding a collection of Niuean flora, with a sovereign crown above, representing Niues ties to the Commonwealth.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2025 5 oz Silver 90 Years of DC Golden Era Detective Comics Coin features the classic cover art of Detective Comics #27. This issue follows Bruce Wayne as he operates from the shadows to investigate a series of murders linked to a chemical company. This debut laid the foundation for key aspects of the Batman legend, including his detective skills, partnership with Commissioner Gordon, and his intimidating approach to crime-fighting.

History

Detective Comics #27 played a crucial role in shaping early superhero storytelling. Arriving shortly after Supermans debut, Batman presented a different take on heroism, emphasizing intellect, investigative skills, and physical ability rather than supernatural powers. His dark, crime-fighting persona took inspiration from pulp-era detective fiction, especially figures like The Shadow, who helped influence the development of Batmans character.
