Silver Half Ounce 2013 Cartoon Characters - Tom and Jerry, Coin from Niue - detailed information

The obverse of the coins shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

Normally, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley) are below the portrait when it is used; however, they are not displayed here.

The portrait of the Queen is smaller than usual and slightly off-centre. Below it, a stylised image of a celluloid film reel with selected scenes depicting cartoon characters.

Near the rim on the right, the small MW mint mark of the Mint of Poland (m over W), for Mennica Warszawska (Mint of Warsaw).

Around above left, the inscription ELIZABETH II; around below left, NIUE ISLAND 2013.

Around left, the hallmark Ag 925 (92.5%, or "sterling", silver). In the right field, the value and denomination: 1 Dollar.

The reverse is coloured and depicts cartoon characters Tom (the cat) and Jerry (the mouse), on a background of a curled film reel.

On the right right, the logo TOM and JERRY.

In small letters below right, the copyright note (C) TEC (s13).

Finish: proof, coloured (pad printing).
Packaging: in blister pack.

The images of the coin supplied by the mint do not show a hallmark on the obverse, but the actual coins have it.
