{{/presale}}Steamboat Willie premiered on November 18, 1928. This classic film is seen as the debut of Mickey Mouse, even though he had two earlier silent cartoon appearances that were less well-known. In 2020, the New Zealand Mint honored Mickey Mouse’s iconic debut with a 1/4 oz gold coin. Right now, 2020 1/4 oz Proof Niue Disney Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie Gold Coins are available from BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 2020 1/4 oz Proof Niue Disney Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie Gold Coin is encased in a protective capsule and presented in a stylish wooden box. The box has a tilt-up display feature. A Steamboat Willie-themed shipper and Certificate of Authenticity are included with each coin.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2020 Proof Niue Disney Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie Gold Coin features Queen Elizabeth II. The image, created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998, shows Her Majesty in right-profile relief, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. This bust is featured on many coins from various nations, including Britain, Australia, and Niue.
Reverse
The reverse of the 2020 1/4 oz Proof Disney Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie Gold Coin features Mickey Mouse. He is depicted as the steamboat captain from the animated short, wearing a captain’s hat and standing at the wheel of the steamer, smiling brightly.
History
Steamboat Willie was one of the first cartoons to feature synchronized sound, including music, sound effects, and limited dialogue. The cartoon features Mickey Mouse as a steamboat deckhand who creates music using various animals as instruments. Minnie Mouse also appears, making this the debut of both iconic characters with synchronized sound.
