Silver Ounce 2020 Cinderella 70th Anniversary, Coin from Niue - detailed information

Niue, a sovereign state in free association with New Zealand, uses two official legal tender currencies. The New Zealand Dollar is the circulation currency for daily transactions, while the government also authorises legal tender coins in the Niue Dollar currency for collector's purposes.

A number of mints issue a large variety of commemorative, bullion and collector coins under the authority of Niue. These coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to Niue itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes - typically, one ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum). Many of these feature famous movie characters.

This coin is part of a New Zealand Mint series dedicated to Disney movie characters and features Cinderella, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the first Cinderella release by Disney.

The Mint says about it:
"This officially licensed, pure silver Disney collectible coin celebrates the 70th anniversary of Disney’s Cinderella which premiered on 15 February 1950.

The 1oz silver coin shows Cinderella and Prince Charming in colour as they dance through the castle during the ball to the tune of “So This is Love”. The engraved background features their striking silhouette. The beautiful heart shaped coin continues the romantic theme.

The outer packaging, with the anniversary logo, has been designed to resemble the story book seen at the beginning of the original movie. Inside the theme continues with a replica of the original poster for the movie. The Certificate of Authenticity is printed underneath the coin.

The limited worldwide mintage of 1,950 coins reflects the year the film premiered, making this a truly unique anniversary memento for any Disney fan or coin collector."
