Silver Ounce 2020 Disney Mickey Mouse - Ready Set Go, 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 characters from Disney movies.

The Mint says about it:
"This modern coin shows Disney’s Mickey Mouse in a track and field outfit showing off his running prowess. It is a 1oz pure silver coin with Mickey featuring in glorious colour. Engraved Mickey Mouse icons and the words ‘Ready Set Go!’ add to the dynamic design. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the coin is legal tender in Niue.

Packaged in an acrylic block, this officially licensed coin can be easily displayed or removed for closer inspection. The coin case fits snugly inside a special box which mirrors the coin imagery.

A limited-edition with a worldwide mintage of only 2,000, its uniquely numbered Certificate of Authenticity is also found inside the packaging."

Finish: Proof / Coloured.
