Marvel Comics Presents #72, released in 1991, is considered one of the most important single issues in Wolverine’s comic history. The issue is part of the famous “Weapon X” storyline written and illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith. This story arc ran through issues #72–84 of the Marvel Comics Presents anthology and explored Wolverine’s mysterious past. The legacy of that storyline is honored with this 1 oz silver foil coin featuring colorized artwork from the comic’s cover. Today, 2026 1 oz Proof Colorized Niue Silver Wolverine Weapon X #72 Foils are available online from BullionMax.

These 2026 1 oz Proof Colorized Niue Silver Wolverine Weapon X #72 Foils are packaged in a presentation box and include a Certificate of Authenticity. Each foil displays proof finishes on both sides, while the reverse uses colorization to recreate the original comic artwork. There is also a 10% chance of receiving a special variant design. This alternate version keeps the same main imagery but features colorization focused only on the figure of Wolverine.
In the obverse design of the 2026 Proof Colorized Niue Silver Wolverine Weapon X #72 Foil, you will find the Public Seal of Niue along with visual elements tied to Marvel Comics. The obverse also includes the official hallmarks of the piece, identifying its weight, metal purity, and issuing nation.
For the reverse of the 2026 1 oz Proof Colorized Silver Wolverine Weapon X #72 Foil, the design reproduces the original cover from the 1991 comic. Wolverine appears with both his feral mutant side and his human side represented in the artwork. Most versions feature a fully colorized background, but the alternate design option limits the colorization to Wolverine himself and the Weapon X title text.
The Weapon X storyline presents a darker look into Wolverine’s origins. In this arc, Logan is captured and subjected to experiments by a secretive program that seeks to transform him into a weapon. Barry Windsor-Smith’s storytelling blends psychological tension with striking artwork to show the physical and emotional toll of the experiments. The series remains one of the most memorable Wolverine stories, offering a deeper understanding of the character’s past and the forces that shaped him.
