First Coin in the NEW “Disney” Series

The Disney – Steamboat Willie 1/4oz gold and 1oz silver proof coins are the first in the exciting new official coin series struck by The Perth Mint on behalf of New Zealand Mint.

Through the decades since its release, Steamboat Willie has received widespread acclaim for introducing one of the world’s most popular cartoon characters, and for its innovation. The film is notable for being the first cartoon with synchronized sound and the first to feature a post-produced soundtrack. The film also featured Walt Disney himself as Mickey.

In 1994, Steamboat Willie was voted the thirteenth greatest cartoon of all time and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry 1998, being deemed culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant.

The Disney – Steamboat Willie gold and silver coins are the first in a two-year program of regular releases featuring Disney's most loved characters.
