2017 Niue 2 Dollar 1-oz Silver Mickey Steamboat Willie NGC MS70 First Releases

The Debut of the Most Famous Mouse in the World -- Now in Gorgeous Gold!

As the stage lights came down at New York City's Colony Theater on the evening of November 18th, 1928, the audience had only a slight idea of what was in store for them. Two animators, striking out on their own after creating a famous series for Universal Studios, had invested everything they could into one final, unique shot at success. Seven minutes later, the audience was drying their eyes and holding their sides after laughing to the first cartoon with fully synchronized sound. With "Steamboat Willie," Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks introduced the world to Mickey Mouse -- and the world wanted more!

Today, "Steamboat Willie" is known as the touchstone for Walt, Mickey, animation, film, modern entertainment . . . the list goes on! It's recognized as a vital piece of history as part of the National Film Registry and as a monumental work as part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. Nearly 80 years of storytelling and culture can be traced to the first spins of the ship's wheel and the first whistles of the song "Steamboat Bill!"

A 99.9% Pure American Classic!

Now, you can bring that landmark scene to your collection with this 2017 Niue One Ounce Silver Disney Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie Bullion Coin! Once again, Disney has teamed up with the New Zealand Mint to create a coin for the ages, minted in one ounce of 99.9% pure silver.

Flip the coin over, and you'll find Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
