Minnie Mouse Gets the Art Deco Treatment in 5g of Pure Silver
Minnie Mouse first appeared alongside Mickey Mouse in 1928. That puts her right in the Art Deco era. Agoro by New Zealand Mint has leaned into that link with a 5g silver collectible foil.
It is priced at $140 at Mint Coin Shop.
The design
The foil shows Minnie in an Art Deco style portrait. Bold geometric lines frame her face. Colour runs from pink to red, inspired by her famous bow.
It is a stylish piece. It looks more like a framed print than a coin, which is part of its appeal.
The chase edition
Some foils carry a rare alternative finish. This chase edition is fully engraved in silver, without the colour. The removal of colour puts the Art Deco line-work front and centre.
Only 200 chase foils exist out of a total release of 2,000. That is about 1 in 10. There is no way to choose. Each purchase is a chance.
Completing the Art Deco trio
This is the third and final release in the Art Deco Collection. It joins earlier silver portraits of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Collectors who own those two now have the chance to finish the set.
