Mickey Mouse remains an icon in the Disney universe as the oldest and most beloved character created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. The beloved character made his official debut in Steamboat Willie, though test audiences had previously seen the animated short Plane Crazy in late 1927, but that film’s release was delayed to come after Steamboat Willie.

All of the 2014 1 oz Proof Niue Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie Silver Coins listed here come in protective plastic slabs from the NGC with a perfect certification. A PF70 coin has full, original mint luster and comes with no detracting flaws of any kind on the design elements or background fields of the coin.

Queen Elizabeth II features in the obverse design of 2014 Proof Niue Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie Silver Coins. Her Majesty is shown here in the popular 1998 design from Ian Rank-Broadley. Created for the Royal Mint initially, the design was adopted for use on Perth Mint, New Zealand Mint, and Royal Australian Mint coins throughout the Commonwealth nations of the South Pacific.

Mickey Mouse is featured at the wheel of a steamboat in the reverse field of the 2014 1 oz Proof Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie Silver Coins. This image of Mickey Mouse is one that remains popular and instantly recognizable today. As Mickey stands at the wheel, he taps one foot and spins the wheel of the steamer with a carefree air as he whistles a little tune.
