2016 Niue $2.50 1/2-Gram Gold Disney Mickey the Brave Little Taylor Proof
Oh Boy! It's Mickey Mouse in One of His Finest Roles!
It’s often been said that good things come in small packages – a saying that certainly applies to Mickey Mouse! And now it also applies to a delightful gold proof that pays tribute to one of Mickey’s finest roles!
Struck in a half gram of highly-pure 99.99% gold, this charming little treasure pays tribute to Mickey’s role in the classic Disney© cartoon The Brave Little Tailor. The image on the reverse of this legal-tender coin features Mickey as he takes his applause from the King’s court after telling his tale of how he struck down “seven with one blow!” Unfortunately, Mickey is talking about how he brought down seven flies with a swatter while everyone else thinks he's talking about seven giants!
The second installment of the New Zealand Mint’s enchanting “Mickey Through the Ages” series, your Brave Little Tailor proof shines with beautiful frosted details and gleaming mirrored fields. The other side of the Proof depicts Ian Rank-Broadley's profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Since your Proof is legal-tender for the island nation of Niue, it also has the denomination of “2 DOLLARS 50 CENTS" engraved alongside the Queen. It will come sealed in a protective acrylic holder and beautifully displayed in a colorful blister card from the New Zealand Mint.
The Brave Little Tailor (1938) was one of the most elaborate and expensive Mickey Mouse cartoons ever made and was nominated for an Academy Award in 1939. The Disney film, originally based on the Grimm fairy-tale, takes place in a medieval setting and tells the story of Mickey Mouse, a tailor from humble origins who uses his sewing skills to defeat a giant and win the hand of the king’s daughter – in this case the princess is Minnie Mouse.
Officially licensed by Disney, the New Zealand Mint's beautiful Mickey Through the Ages series pays tribute to some of Mickey's best screen moments from his long career. Ever since his debut in Steamboat Willie back in 1928, Mickey has enchanted and entertained kids of all ages through screens of all sizes.
