One of Mickey Mouse’s earliest acquaintances, aside from his beloved Minnie Mouse, was his trusty dog Pluto. In the animated short film Mickey’s Nightmare, Pluto incessantly bothers Mickey as he is saying his nightly prayers before bed. As Pluto climbs into Mickey’s bed while he’s sleeping, the dog’s face licking continues throughout a nightmare Mickey has about marrying Minnie and having children together.
Mickey’s Nightmare was a black-and-white film produced by Walt Disney in 1932. It features as one of the designs from the Monnaie de Paris’ Mickey Mouse Through the Ages coin collection, which includes two other gold coins and two silver coins, all available as proof coins.
The obverse of the 2016 1/4 oz Proof French Gold Mickey Mouse Through the Ages Coin is the image of Mickey as he walks along in the animated short film Mickey’s Nightmare. The designs include the use of an engraving, in French, that identifies the coin collection’s name.
On the reverse of all Proof French Mickey Mouse Through the Ages Coins, both silver and gold, is the iconic profile of Mickey Mouse. This well-known image includes his facial features, and engravings of the face value, his name, and the year of issue for the coins.
The Monnaie de Paris is the official sovereign mint of France, and was founded in 864. Originally sharing the duty of French coining with smaller, provincial mints in France, today it is the primary issuer of French currency and is the oldest operating institution in the world.
