Barbie 60th Anniversary One Ounce Silver Coin

One of the hottest selling toys and collectables of all time, Barbie doll was unveiled to the world by Ruth Handler, joint founder of Mattel, at the 1959 New York Toy Fair. Barbie's original outfit was a black-and-white striped swimsuit. As a teenage fashion model she epitomized 1950s glamour with her ponytail, hoop earrings and vintage sunglasses. An international collecting craze across 150 countries, Barbie offers enthusiasts constant progressions in style, sophistication and, with the latest Barbie Fashionistas, body types, skin tones, eye colors and hairstyles. Sixty years after her debut, Barbie remains not just a best-selling children's pastime, but also a remarkable collectable. Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, the coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu. The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of the Barbie 60th Anniversary 2019 1 oz Silver Proof Coin.
