CoinSilver Ounce 2023 Mickey and Minnie: Made for Each Other

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 coins under the authority of Niue. Most of these are commemorative and collector issues 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). Those issued at prices much higher than their bullion value are separately listed in the Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) silver ounce section of the site.

Unlike them, this coin is targeted at bullion investors and was initially released at a price close to the value of its precious metal content.

This premium bullion coin struck from one ounce of 99.9% silver is part of a New Zealand Mint series dedicated to characters and themes from famous movies, and features Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, famous characters from Disney cartoons.

Since their inception in 1928, Mickey and Minnie Mouse were made for each other. The mouse pair began with Mickey seeking to woo Minnie in various shorts and films, to rescuing Minnie as a damsel in distress, to then being a regular couple. Initially Walt Disney himself voiced both Mickey and Minnie, but this role would fall to other actors and actresses as time went on. The pair are among the most famous fictional couples of all time. 95 years is a very long time indeed. Both characters appear separately in their own cartoons, but when they're together, they are the embodiment of love.

Obverse
Niue / Silver Ounce 2023 Mickey and Minnie: Made for Each Other - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin features the (unofficial) "Public Seal of Niue". It has what looks like a plant arrangement at centre, within a double ornamental circle, itself surrounded by a circle of sea shells. This is crowned with St Edward's Crown (a symbol of the United Kingdom, the monarch of which is ultimately the Head of State of Niue).

Around above between the two, the inscription PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE. Below that, a ribbon carries the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI on two lines, below which two crossed katoua (Niue fighting clubs).

Around above, the face value TWO DOLLARS. Around below, the date of issue: 2023.
