The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a band of pizza-loving brothers like no other. Exposed to ‘mutagenic ooze’ as baby turtles, they were transformed into crime-fighting New York superheroes expert in the art of ninjutsu.
Energetic, inventive and enthusiastic, Michelangelo is a wisecracking party dude famous for exclaiming ‘cowabunga’. Naturally gifted but reluctant to train, he frustrates his brothers, who believe that with more focus and discipline he could really excel at ninjutsu. Nevertheless, Mike or Mikey as he’s also known, is an impressive fighter. Michelangelo generally wears an orange eye-mask and his weapons of choice are nunchuks, which he handles with skill and precision.

DESIGN
The coin portrays Michelangelo in colour, busting through a brick wall with
city buildings in the background. The design includes the inscription
‘MICHELANGELO’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

The obverse portrays the Jody Clark effigy of His Majesty King Charles III,
and the coin’s weight, purity, monetary denomination, and 2024-year date.
