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, and also celebrates the Lunar "Year of the Mouse" from the Chinese calendar (25 January 2020 - 11 February 2021).
The Mint says about it:
"Everyone needs a little happiness in their life, right? Our final coin in the Disney 2020 Year of the Mouse 1oz Silver Coin Collection representing Happiness does just that! And the huge nominal diameter of 50 mm, which allows the detailed design to be fully realised, will make you smile even more.
This officially licensed Disney collection is now complete, with Happiness joining coins for Good Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity.
This latest coin design features a beautifully coloured and engraved image of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse gazing at myriad of flying lanterns. This image is taken from the Happiness scroll in Disney’s Happy Year of the Mouse artwork collection.
It is packaged in a symbolic red box decorated with the entire Happiness scroll. On the scroll Mickey and Minnie are seen eating rice dumplings, walking on stilts and performing a dragon dance - just some of the activities undertaken when ushering in the Lunar New Year.
These coins are legal tender in Nuie, with the obverse featuring the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. A Certificate of Authenticity is provided with each coin confirming the 99.9% silver purity and its number in the 3,000 coin mintage. All in all, a truly precious collectible that will have you jumping for joy!"
