| Additional information |
Samoa has issued licensed Warner Bros. character coinage since the early 2010s, operating under a broader Pacific island mint-program arrangement that has made small sovereign nations reliable vehicles for collectible bullion. This particular issue rides the 2022 wave of Looney Tunes gold releases timed loosely to the character's 83rd anniversary — Bugs Bunny having debuted in A Wild Hare in July 1940.
Struck to one troy ounce at .999 fine, these are bought as character collectibles first and gold bullion second. Secondary market premiums over spot have historically tracked Warner licensing enthusiasm more than metal price.
