2017 Niue 2$ - Silly Symphony “FLOWERS AND TREES” - Disney Posters of 1930s (2.) - 1 0z Silver Proof

The second of the New Zealand Mint’s new Disney Posters of the 1930’s series of rectangular silver coins appears today and in a nice change of direction eschews the ubiquitous mouse for one of the much loved Silly Symphony cartoons. First shown 85 years ago in July 1932, Flowers and Trees was the first animated movie to win an Oscar. The Silly Symphonies series went on to comprise 75 shorts, and they won a further six more Oscars until the series ended in 1939. It was the first commercially released film to be produced in the full-color three-strip Technicolor process.

Depicting the original poster for the short, it’s a great look back at the early days of this media behemoth. It’s another of those coins targeted at the classic Disney collector, rather than the customer more enamoured with Frozen and the latest CGI-animated blockbusters. The obverse is the standard NZ Mint Niue one of an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, along with inscriptions detailing the issuer, date and denomination. Packaging is a favourite of ours. The mints acrylic display frame makes showing the coin an absolute doddle. It’s all wrapped up in a coloured shipper with an enclosed certificate of authenticity.

This 1oz fine silver coin features a replica image of the 1930s poster for the 29th Silly Symphony cartoon Flowers and Trees. Released on 30 July 1932 by Walt Disney Productions it was the first cartoon to be made in colour. The design incorporates both colour and engraving to great effect.

The Flowers and Trees 1oz Silver Coin is presented in a clever perspex holder, designed to frame the coin and allow for easy display. The Certificate of Authenticity sits within the packaging, and both are of a complementary design.

There is a limited worldwide mintage of 10,000 coins.

Struck in an ounce of fine silver, the mintage is set at a maximum of 10,000 pieces and the price is $80.00 USD. Available to order from today from the mints website or from one of their dealers, like several of our site sponsors. If you like the idea of these but Disney isn’t your thing, the NZ Mint also has a superb Star Wars Posters range in progress, the first of which launched a couple of months ago. DESCRIPTION
