2023 Disney 100th Anniversary - Minnie Mouse Stamp and Coin Cover
The Perth Mint and Australia Post are pleased to present this stamp and coin cover celebrating 100 Years of Disney featuring Minnie Mouse.
Minnie Mouse is sweet, stylish and the long time girlfriend of Mickey Mouse. One of Disney’s iconic characters, Minnie is known for her large head bows and polka-dotted dresses. Her classy, yet no-nonsense demeanour serves as a foil to the troublemaking Mickey. She first appeared in 1928 in the short animation Steamboat Willie and since then has captured hearts around the world.
In 2018, Minnie was recognised for her contributions to animation with 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 Minnie Mouse amid representations of celestial bodies. As well as the official ‘DISNEY 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.
