Take a break from Lady Liberty and the American Eagle in favor of a little Disney magic! In the 1980s, seven Disney silver coins were released, to celebrate Disney around the world. Each 1 troy ounce coin features a different Disney scene, and is a commemorative proof.
The first of the seven features all of your favorite Disney characters holding hands. This “Disney Around the World” coin features:
- Minnie Mouse
- Mickey Mouse
- Goofy
- Donald Duck
- Daisy Duck
And on the back:
- Pinocchio
- Peter Pan
- Snow White
- Dopey
The rest of the set features one or two of the characters on their own coins.
Happy Birthday Mickey: Another noteworthy collection of Disney silver coins is the 60th anniversary of Mickey Mouse set. This set of seven coins depicts different eras in Mickey’s life, starting at his birth in 1928 as Steamboat Willie.
There’s Happy, and Dopey, and…Snow White even has her own coin set, with each of the dwarfs featured on eleven coins (including one for Prince Charming, the Wicked Witch, and the Hunter and Queen). These come in either silver or gold.
Gift Cards Worth Their Weight in Silver? And last but not least, Disney issued collectible gift card coins in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Each came in a fold out card and featured a different Disney scene.
