Celebrating 100 years since Charlie Chaplin’s first movie appearance and the debut of his onscreen character The Tramp, The Perth Mint is proud to present this stunning commemorative. The coin honours the life of British actor and filmmaker, Sir Charles Spencer ‘Charlie’ Chaplin KBE.  A master of mime and a comic genius, his stage persona The Tramp became a global phenomenon, providing decades of laughter to audiences all over the world.

The reverse of the 1/4oz gold coin displays a struck portrait of Charlie Chaplin as The Tramp, surrounded by the words THE TRAMP, 100 YEARS OF LAUGHTER, and the year dates 1914 and 2014.

With the use of lenticular lenses, the reverse of the silver coin features a coloured image of The Tramp jauntily walking as depicted in the closing scenes of the 1928 silent movie, The Circus, bordered by the inscription CHARLIE CHAPLIN.  The images transform from one to the other as the coin is moved.

Obverse: Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the coin features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination and the 2014 year-date on its obverse.

Each gold coin is housed in a prestigious MP4 box which plays a short film clip to music from the silent film, The Circus, when the lid of the case is opened. Each release is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
