About the coin designs:
ACTION COMICS #1
The reverse image recreates the 2011 cover of Action Comics #1, and features Superman as he runs from the authorities throughthe streets of Metropolis. The original artwork introduced a more modern take on a young Superman; wearing denim jeans and boots, Superman still maintains elements from his traditional costume with a blue shirt, red cape and the iconic 'S' shieldemblazoned across his chest. Vibrant colour enhances the engraved portrait of Superman, even adding a red glow to the streaks caused by bullets that do little to slow him down. A series of concentric circles frame the reverse, adding depth to the overall design and creating the illusion that Superman is racing out from the coin at breakneck speed towards the viewer.
SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #2
As seen on one of the six variant covers associated with Superman Unchained #2 (2013), thereverse image features vibrant colour in its depiction of Superman in action. Battling a corrupt and covert military force, Superman displays an incredible feat of strength as he lifts a tank over his headwith just one arm. In the engraved background, high-tech tanks close in on the Man of Steel ª, leaving a wake of destruction and rubble in theirpath. Surrounding the reverse image, a series of concentric circles add depth to the design, creating the illusion that Superman is poised to leap out ofthe coin.
SUPERMAN #28
As seen on the cover of Superman #28 (2014), the reverse image features Superman in his Kryptonianbattle armour, lifting the title of his comic bookwith the help of his heat vision and super strength. Dust and debris fall from the SUPERMAN title, as our superhero's red-coloured cape billows in the wind. The reverse image's detailed engraving is enhanced by the application of vibrant colour, all of which are framed within a series of concentric circles that add depth to the design and create the illusion that Superman is poised to leap out of the coin.
