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.
The Bambi and Butterfly coin is part of an extensive New Zealand Mint series featuring Disney characters, and was issued to mark the 80th Anniversary of Bambi.
The Mint says about it:
Relive the wonder of Disney’s Bambi with this adorable 1oz pure silver coin, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Disney classic!
This precious piece features a coloured image of the curious Bambi with the butterfly on his tail, and Thumper and his sisters watching excitedly. The bottom half of the forest background is in colour, and the top half has both frosted engraving and a mirror-finish, accentuating the silver beautifully. The engraving along the bottom confirms it’s of .999 fine silver and provides the Disney authentication. Turn to the obverse for the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth ll, confirming the coin as legal tender.
Officially licensed, it arrives in a special edition themed box which features the full frame of the image seen on the coin. On the back, you’ll find a Certificate of Authenticity and the coin’s unique number in the mintage of 1,942 – reflecting the year the film was released! |
