For decades, Mickey Mouse has been the most recognised and popular of the world's cartoon characters. The loveable and indomitable Mickey made his debut in the 1928 short Steamboat Willie. Always the underdog, Mickey overcomes larger-than-life adversity through quick wit and can-do spirit, despite being small and vulnerable. As its most famous character Mickey serves as the mascot of The Walt Disney Company and in 1978 became the first cartoon character to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Issued as Tuvalu legal tender, the uncirculated aluminium-bronze coin is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing the coin's reverse and obverse designs.
DESIGN
The coin portrays a coloured image of Mickey Mouse amid representations of celestial bodies. As well as the official 'DISENY 100' logo, the design includes The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark.
The obverse of the coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II supplemented by the dates of her reign '1952-2022', the 2023 year-date and the monetary denomination.
