Mickey Mouse is the official mascot of the Walt Disney Company, and his image was created in 1928 by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney. Mickey first appeared in a single screen testing of Plane Crazy that year, and later made his big debut in the animated short film Steamboat Willie later that same year.
Minnie Mouse made her debut the same year, and was created by Iwerks as the partner of Mickey. The lovers first appeared together in a Disney animated short in the 1928 film Steamboat Willie, which was the first animated short to feature coordinated sound and film.
On the reverse of the 2017 1 oz Niue Disney Love Silver Coin you’ll find the image of Mickey and Minnie from their first appearance together, sharing in a kiss. The duo are captured in full-color on the coin’s reverse with the phrase “No Finer Friends – 1928” and the word “Love” in the background.
The obverse of the Disney Love Silver Coin includes the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s effigy appears on all Australian and commonwealth coinage, with this particular fourth-generation depiction created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley.
All 2017 1 oz Niue Disney Love Silver Coins are produced by the New Zealand Mint. Located in the city of Auckland, the private mint is the only operating facility in New Zealand, but does not produce sovereign currency for the nation as that is done at the Royal Canadian Mint and Royal Mint.
