This coin was issued in Niue. We have no further information yet but will soon expand this page. In 1999’s Toy Story 2, the Disney/Pixar animated film starring the voices of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, there’s a nostalgic scene centered around an old television show called “Woody’s Roundup,” a puppet show sponsored by a cereal brand called Cowboy Crunchies. Inspired by Howdy Doody, a classic real-life western puppet show that was broadcast on NBC from 1947 to 1960, Woody’s Roundup had a catchy theme song and a group of colorful characters including Sheriff Woody, his horse Bullseye, Cowgirl Jessie, and an elderly prospector named Stinky Pete.
Beautifully Struck In The Shape Of A Box Of Cowboy Crunchies.
To pay tribute to the 25th Anniversary of Toy Story 2, the prestigious New Zealand Mint has issued this limited-edition coin struck in the shape of a box of Cowboy Crunchies. Minted in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. The colorized image shows Woody happily polishing off a bowl of the sugar-sweet cereal baked in the shape of a horse shoe. This legal-tender $2 coin was released on behalf of Niue, a small island nation in the South Pacific Ocean and comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
Whatever Happened To Woody’s Roundup?
In Toy Story 2, Woody’s Roundup enjoyed a popular run from 1949 until it was prematurely cancelled in 1957 after the Soviet Union’s launch of Sputnik 1 into Earth's orbit, which was the start of the Space Race. Western-themed programs media subsequently experienced a sharp decline in popularity with children, as Stinky Pete declared that “once the astronauts went up, children only wanted to play with space toys,” a situation Woody was well aware of thanks to his jealously towards space-themed action figure Buzz Lightyear from the first film.
