The Looney Tunes™ characters are some of the craziest and best-loved animated characters of all time. The first Looney Tunes™ short dates to 1929, although the first appearance of a major character recognizable today was by Porky Pig in 1935. Merrie Melodies were animated in full colour starting in 1934, a full nine years before Looney Tunes™.
The reverse of this coin features a rendering of Marvin the Martian staring upwards with anticipation through a telescope. Marvin has likely just attempted to destroy the Earth again due to Earth blocking his view of Venus. Marvin first appeared in Looney Tunes™ in 1948, and he is the most destructive and competent of the Warner Brothers villains. Marvin was not actually named until several decades after his appearance. When viewed closely the coin reveals an "Easter egg" of Marvin's head and helmet viewed in profile laser engraved in the background.
ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT
The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
