Planet of the Apes premiered in February 1968, the same year Charlton Heston signed on after initially dismissing the script — it was Rod Serling's heavily revised screenplay that brought him around. The film's production budget ran to roughly $5.8 million, then a substantial gamble for 20th Century Fox on a science fiction property with a premise many studio executives found uncommercial.
Tuvalu's licensing arrangement for pop-culture silver rounds of this type runs through the Perth Mint, which handles striking and distribution. The .999 fine specification places it firmly in the bullion-collectible category rather than anything approaching circulation issue.
