Obverse
The obverse of each coin bears the fourth-generation image of Queen Elizabeth II. This right-profile image was created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998.

History
The New Zealand Mint creates a variety of bullion products for small island nations such as Niue. The Mickey Through the Ages series is just one of these many products. This release from the series focuses on the 1935 animated short The Band Concert, which was the first animated short from Disney to be released in color.
In the short, Mickey is the conductor of the band, but this leadership role causes him to deal with a variety of issues, including his nemesis Donald Duck. Donald keeps trying to play different songs and distract the other members of the band.
