Thomas A. Edison was among the most influential inventors in history.

He’s now the subject of the seventh release in the exclusive Icons of Inspirations coin series from APMEX issued in the name of Niue.

Edison was born with partial deafness, which became the motivation behind his behavior and career. The result was a world-record 1,093 patents that he singly or jointly owned, among many accolades and further achievements.

The APMEX coin series features artwork by designer Joel Iskowitz.

The obverse of the Brilliant Uncirculated 2023 1-ounce .999 fine silver $2 coin shows Edison, with a motion picture camera emanating light rays in front of his image. A reel is displayed behind his image.

The reverse depicts a triumphant image of a muse with an arm extended toward the sun, the seal of the nation of Niue, $2 face value and the date 2023.

The coin weighs 31.1 grams, measures 39 millimeters in diameter, and has a mintage limited to 10,000 pieces.
