Perth Mint Releases 40th Anniversary ‘TMNT’ Silver Collectors’ Coin Series

by Brendan M. Allen

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Perth Mint Australia has released a series of 2025 TMNT collector coins. The series is designed by Lucas Bowers, and all feature Jody Clark’s design of H.M. King Charles III on the obverse. We’re not here for the obverse, though, are we? The good stuff is featured on the reverse of these 1-2 Troy oz. 99.99% silver beauties.

Celebrating 40 years of adventures in comic books, animated series, movies and computer games, these coins portray the (original four) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Master Splinter, and the evil Shredder in color with their trademark weapons. The designs also include the official ‘40 Years Of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ anniversary logo, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

That’s nice, but Perth is a long way from Bakersfield, right? Good news! Perth Mint offers free worldwide shipping on orders over AUD 300 (about $195 USD), so any combination of two or more of these collectors’ coins would cost nothing to ship to your home. They also offer a 30-day money back guarantee. 

Let’s check out some of the coins being offered.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo, Splinter, or Shredder 2025 1oz Silver Proof Colored Coin

Each of these coins is 1 Troy oz 99.99% silver, limited in production to 5,000 pieces each, with a price tag of AUD 169 (about $110 USD). They’re presented with a numbered certificate of authenticity, in a presentation box. Multiple presentation boxes can be stacked to form a New York cityscape display. 

“Tech-savvy Donatello is the ‘brains’ of the group. With a knack for inventing and building useful gadgets, weapons and even vehicles from discarded scrap, he is smart, logical, and level-headed. Despite his nerdy and sometimes reclusive nature, Donnie is a superb warrior with a fighting style that relies on strength and stamina, but also great tactical wisdom. Donatello wears a purple eye mask and mainly fights with a bo staff featuring a retractable blade.”

“The strongest and most aggressive of the Turtle brothers, Raphael tends to act first and ask questions later. Being independent and wanting to do things in his own highly combative way often puts him in conflict with the rest of the group. But as the fiercest and most impressive warrior, there’s nobody they want watching their backs more than Raphael.”

“Michelangelo is a wisecracking party dude famous for exclaiming ‘cowabunga’. Although energetic, enthusiastic and naturally gifted, he is reluctant to train, which frustrates his brothers Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael who believe that with more focus and discipline he could really excel at ninjutsu. Nevertheless, Mikey is an impressive fighter whose weapons of choice are nunchucks, which he handles with skill and precision.”

“Leonardo is a role model for Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo, his younger siblings. The wisest and most responsible of the brothers, he is highly focused on training. Leonardo’s speed and agility make him an exceptional fighter, especially in hand-to-hand combat.”

“Once known as Hamato Yoshi, Splinter is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ sensei, or ninjutsu teacher. Exposed to the same mutagenic ooze that transformed the TMNT into crime-fighting heroes, he is also the brothers’ adoptive father.

Splinter coaches his protégés in patience, discipline, and morality while being a formidable martial arts master himself. His strength, agility, and fiercely protective nature never fail in the face of danger.”

“Shredder is a vengeful supervillain who goes to any length to defeat Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo. Also known as Oroku Saki, the ruthless and cruel leader of the criminal Foot Clan, Shredder is a highly-skilled and merciless fighter whose cunning makes him especially hard to attack.”

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Domed Shell 2025 1.5oz Silver Antiqued Colored Coin

Of the coins offered in this series, this is my absolute favorite. This coin clocks in at AUD 259 (about $213 USD) and is limited to 1,500 pieces. Struck from 1.5 Troy oz of 99.99% pure silver, the dome-shaped coin portrays the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ iconic green shell.

“Known as Heroes in a Half Shell, their protective armor represents the brothers’ strength, unity and resilience as crime-fighting heroes. The design includes the inscription ‘TMNT’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.”

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is housed in a contemporary latex case within a sleek black box featuring the acronym TMNT, a stylized green turtle shell Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles graphic, and the logo.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2025 2oz Silver Colored Pizza Coin

It’s Pizza Time! Crafted from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver, this vibrant, pizza-shaped coin captures the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ iconic love for pizza with a playful and colorful design. Limited to 1,000 pieces, the pizza coin doesn’t list a price, and is shown as “unavailable,” which could mean it’s sold out (although other coins show “sold out” as their status, so who knows?).

This coin, like all the others, is accompanied by a COA, but the really cool detail on this one is the presentation box. The coin is housed in novelty packaging designed to replicate the look of a classic New York pizza box.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 40th Anniversary 2024 2oz Silver Antiqued High Relief Colored Coin

“Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo are a band of pizza-loving brothers like no other. As four baby turtles exposed to ‘mutagenic ooze’, they were transformed into crime-fighting heroes expert in the art of ninjutsu. Guided by their sensei, a rat named Splinter, their mission is to end villainy on the streets of New York.”

Limited to 2,000 pieces, this 2 Troy oz 99.99% pure silver coin is available for 329 AUD (about $233 USD). It’s accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, and the coin is housed in a display case that looks like the manhole cover through which the Turtles reach their lair in the sewers of New York.
