Fantasia was the third full-length feature film in the animated collection of Walt Disney’s early releases. Debuting in a special 13-city release in November 1940, the film was bogged down early on in terms of financial success because of the costs associated with showing the film at various locations. Mickey Mouse’s role in that film is remembered on a brilliant gold coin from New Zealand Mint. Today, the 2017 ½ Gram Niue Mickey Mouse Fantasia Series Gold Proof Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Fantasia was released by Disney in November 1940 in a unique 13-city release that involved leasing theaters for special showings and installing unique Fantasound systems designed to optimally deliver sound for the animated feature film. While Fantasia is regarded today as one of the company’s most successful films financially, its early release was dogged by costs associated with leasing the theaters and installing Fantasound systems.
On the reverse of the 2017 ½ Gram Niue Mickey Mouse Fantasia Series Gold Proof coin is the image of Mickey Mouse. Like other releases in the collection, it depicts Mickey Mouse in a particular role, in this case that of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in Fantasia. Mickey is shown on this face instructing a mop as it carries two buckets full of water.
The obverse of Niue Mickey Mouse Fantasia Series Gold Proof coins includes an image of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s effigy has featured in right-profile relief on the obverse of commonwealth coinage since 1952 when she ascended to the throne of England. The image on this coin was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley as the fourth-generation depiction.
Each 2017 ½ Gram Niue Mickey Mouse Fantasia Series Gold Proof Coin in this collection ships in a sealed plastic card that features full-color artwork from the coin’s design printed onto one face of the card. Flip it over and the Certificate of Authenticity with individual serial number is printed on the back.
The New Zealand Mint is a private minting facility regarded as one of the finest mints in the world. Located in Auckland, it handles bullion coin production for numerous small South Pacific nations, but does not mint official New Zealand currency or bullion coins.
