Comment

Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure. Shot in Aotearoa New Zealand, the new film combines industry-leading technology with pristine locations to take audiences even deeper into the alien world of Pandora.

Each coin in this set depicts a creature from Pandora. One coin depicts a banshee, a large, aerial predator native to Pandora. The bonding between banshee and Na’vi is a dangerous rite of passage, but once achieved it allows the creature and rider to fly effortlessly through the Pandoran skies. The second coin shows a tulkun, a creature introduced in the second Avatar film. Native to Pandora, the tulkun is a large whale-like creature that is highly intelligent. The Metkayina Clan share a deep spiritual bond with the tulkun.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Charles III, designed by artist David Fuller, which is unlike any other portrait of the monarch that has been used on currency before. The portrait is inspired by the theme of "Avatar: Way of the Water" and features Charles III in a Tulkan, a traditional Maori cloak, which is a nod to New Zealand's indigenous culture. This coin is a rare and unique collectible for coin enthusiasts and those interested in the British royal family.
