Disney in silver: from a $45 Stitch cover to a shaped Dumbo set

Disney coins get bought for more reasons than anything else we stock. Nostalgia does most of the work, but plenty leave here as gifts for children, and a surprising number go to serious collectors, because licensed Disney silver has a following all of its own.

The classics anchor the range. The Dumbo Collectible Set is the centrepiece at $320: a shaped 3/4oz silver coin rendered in black and white, paired with a 5g silver foil in a display pack. The black and white treatment is a lovely decision, closer to the 1941 film than a bright modern colouring would be. If you are buying for a Disney adult who has everything, this is the one. Alongside it sits the Lady and the Tramp Season's Greetings 5g silver coin note at $95, small and very giftable.

Mickey and friends are here through the Iconic Expressions series, with Minnie Mouse on a 1/2oz silver collectible at $150 and Donald Duck at $155. These are the coins people buy for someone who grew up with the originals.

Then come the wildcards, which are our favourites if we are honest. Maleficent from the Disney Villains range at $215, for everyone whose favourite character was never the princess. Gonzo from The Muppets on a 1oz silver collectible at $210, and if you know someone who loves Gonzo, you already know this is their gift. Villains and Muppets are also what our regulars reach for once they own the obvious pieces.

The entry point is the Merry Stitchmas 2025 Stitch stamp and coin cover from The Perth Mint at $45. If you want to put a first collectible in a child's hands without spending silver coin money, start there. More than a few serious collections have begun with something this small.

Most of the range comes from Agoro by New Zealand Mint, with the Stitch cover from The Perth Mint. We are official stockists of both, so everything comes through authorised channels.
