Scrooge McDuck made his original debut as a villain in a Donald Duck cartoon, at a time when it was little suspected that he would grow into a mainstay of the Disney roster and the Donald Duck universe. The avaricious duck became surprisingly popular with audiences, for whom he eventually came to represent thrift and an adventuresome spirit when helming his own comics or a show likeDucktales.He acquired a dedicated fan following that has since spanned generations and remains strong to this day. The New Zealand Mint celebrates the tycoon of McDuck Enterprises with the 2022 Colorized Niue 75th Anniversary Scrooge McDuck 3 oz Silver Coin, now available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The 2022 Colorized Niue 75th Anniversary Scrooge McDuck Silver Coin features full-color art and a mirror-finish background. It comes fully insured against even the most remote chance of loss or damage by the team at Provident Metals. Each coin ships in a branded display case inside an acrylic capsule, along with a Certificate of Authenticity that specifies its unique number in the mintage.
Obverse
The obverse side features a globally-recognized effigy of the late Queen Elizabeth II, confirming it as legal tender. It’s accompanied by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE,” “TEN DOLLARS,” and “2022.”
Reverse
The coin’s reverse side shows Scrooge McDuck counting his money in full color, set against a backdrop of golden coins and an overflowing treasure chest, all of it offset against a mirror-finish background. Small inscriptions at the coin’s rim specify its silver contents and verify the Disney copyright.
History
The New Zealand Mint has issued many beautiful and vivid coins celebrating key anniversaries and occasions for iconic Disney characters. Scrooge McDuck might be one of the more unusual entries, a character originally named and patterned after the miserly nature of Ebenezer Scrooge who turned out to have more range and appeal than anyone had suspected when he made his 1947 debut. The tycoon of McDuck enterprises went on to represent both the pros and cons of great wealth and the mindset that can come with it, and the artwork on this extraordinary collectible shows both these sides of his character.
