Donald Duck made his debut on June 9, 1934, in the Silly Symphony cartoon “The Wise Little Hen.” Created by Walt Disney and designed by animator Dick Lundy, Donald was initially a supporting character. His distinctive voice, performed by Clarence Nash, immediately set him apart. Nash would continue to voice Donald for over 50 years, establishing one of the most recognizable character voices in animation history.

Donald’s popularity quickly grew, and he soon began appearing in Mickey Mouse cartoons. His irascible personality and short temper provided a perfect foil to Mickey’s even-tempered nature. This dynamic was first showcased in the 1934 cartoon “Orphan’s Benefit,” where Donald’s attempt at reciting nursery rhymes is continually disrupted, leading to his characteristic fits of rage.

For the obverse of the 2024 1/4 oz Proof Gold Donald Duck 90^th Anniversary Coin, the mint features a bust of King Charles III. His Majesty is shown in left-profile relief and is depicted without a crown on his head. Effigies of Charles III are expanding to more programs in 2024 as Commonwealth Nations phase out portraits of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

In the reverse design of 2024 Proof Niue Gold Donald Duck 90^th Anniversary Coins, you will find the classic depiction of Donald Duck. Here, he is shown with a wide smile on his face and his iconic sailor’s cap on his head.

These 2024 1/4 oz Proof Niue Gold Donald Duck 90^th Anniversary Coins are individually packaged by the mint. Each coin has its own black presentation box with a pop-up display. The coin and box arrive in a themed shipper that includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
