The New Zealand Mint is kicking off the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Gerry Anderson's "Thunderbirds" with a new collectible coins series.

Timed to coincide with the new reboot, which will debut on CITV in April, the first item in the line is silver coin featuring a gold-plated Thunderbirds 50th Anniversary logo.

The first coin is now available on the New Zealand Mint website in a limited edition run of 5,000.
