Many cartoon characters come and go, but a handful endure from one generation to the next, sparking smiles among collectors of all ages. One of those rare characters who is instantly recognizable to anyone who was ever – and still is -- a fan of cartoons is the zany Daffy Duck. From his turns as “Stupor Duck” and “Duck Twacy” to his epic battles with Bugs Bunny that left him uttering his iconic catchphrase with the distinctive lisp, "Youuu're deththpicable!" Daffy has entertained children and adults for generations. Now, Daffy Duck is featured on the second coin in a series of five coins that celebrate Looney Tunes characters. The design shows him staring indignantly off the face of the coin in a now-familiar pose of the screwball duck’s reaction to the failure of yet another of his attention-grabbing schemes.
FOUR NINE FINE WITH "P" MINT MARK – Each 2018 Tuvalu Daffy Duck proof was struck from a half ounce of 99.99% fine silver at the Perth Mint and features that mint's "P" mint mark, which is recognized as a symbol of quality throughout the world.
A FAMILIAR CARTOON DESIGN – Daffy Duck is at his irritated best on the coin's reverse. His big, arched eyeballs stare sarcastically while his hands rest disgustedly on his hips. It’s an image that’s sure to induce nostalgia for those who grew up busting a gut with laughter while watching his cartoons.
EXQUISITE PROOF FINISH – This Daffy Duck coin has a beautiful proof finish that enhances both faces. It also helps to draw attention to the colorized cartoon character.
TUVALU LEGAL TENDER – Each 2018 half ounce Silver Daffy Duck Proof is fifty cents legal tender in the island nation of Tuvalu. Tuvalu is about halfway between Hawaii and Australia and is known for its beautiful beaches and the abundant sea life in its reef.
EXCELLENT EXTRAS – Your coin will arrive in a themed box and is set in a clear acrylic case, which is perfect for putting your coin on display. Included in the packaging is a numbered certificate of authenticity.
A LIMITED MINTAGE – Just 5,000 pieces were issued. When they’re gone that’ll be all, folks!

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
