Silver Ounce 2020 Disney Year of the Mouse - Prosperity, 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, and also celebrates the Lunar "Year of the Mouse" from the Chinese calendar (25 January 2020 - 11 February 2021).

The Mint says about it:
"Licensed by Disney, this second coin in our new Disney 2020 Year of the Mouse 1oz Silver Coin Collection represents Prosperity. Its unique 50mm diameter allows the delightful design, which features a coloured and engraved image of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse laughing as they set off noisy firecrackers in celebration, to be fully realised. This image is taken from the Prosperity scroll in Disney’s Happy Year of the Mouse artwork collection.

The coin is packaged in a fabulous decorative red box showing the entire scroll and contains the Certificate of Authenticity."

Finish: Proof / Coloured.
