| Reverse description | Stylised chibi-format full-length depiction of the Phantom, the legendary costumed crime-fighter created by Lee Falk, rendered in vivid applied colour. The figure is shown facing forward with arms folded across the chest, dressed in his iconic purple hooded suit with a black domino mask revealing white eye slits. A skull-and-crossbones belt buckle is prominently displayed at the waist. The design is printed in polychrome colour over a shaped flan that follows the contour of the character's silhouette, with no additional lettering on the reverse field. |

| Additional information |
The "Phantom" belongs to Tuvalu's long-running series of licensed pop-culture silver issues produced through the Perth Mint. Tuvalu has no independent monetary policy to speak of — its currency relationship with Australia means these dollar-denominated coins are legal tender in name only, functioning almost entirely as collector vehicles. The Perth Mint has used this arrangement since the 1990s to issue themed bullion and proof products under Tuvaluan authority.
The ghost-who-walks first appeared in Lee Falk's comic strip in February 1936, predating Superman by two years.
