Struck in Australia by Perth Mint. Spiderman is one of the most iconic superheroes from the Marvel Comic universe. Created by the iconic Marvel writer and editor Stan Lee, Superman first appeared in the anthology comic book, “Amazing Fantasy” in the 15th issue released August 1962. Like many superheroes, Spiderman was the outgoing, brave side of an otherwise mild-mannered citizen. Peter Parker, a high school student in New York City living with his elderly aunt and uncle, was bitten by a spider and gained super strength and agility as a result. Creating Spiderman as a teenager superhero was a first in comic books, as many previous teenage characters were relegated to lesser roles as sidekicks or protagonists.
