The world's most famous drake celebrates its 85th birthday and still enjoys worldwide popularity. In honor of the anniversary of Donald Duck™ the New Zealand Mint struck this coin from 1 ounce of 99.9% silver. The motive features a delightful image of Donald Duck™ as well as the inscription '85 YEARS' and the full name of the famous drake. On June 9, 1934, the first cartoon with the clumsy duck was broadcast in America. In 'The Wise Little Hen', Donald Duck had only a minor role, but then he achieved a rapid career development and has got fans all over the world, today. After Mickey Mouse™ celebrated in 2018 his 90th birthday, now the drake with the blue sailor jacket makes it to his friend with round ears. Not so bad for an often moody poultry without trousers, which has become a world star since its Hollywood debut in 1934. Mickey Mouse™, which premiered in 1928 in the short film 'Steamboat Willie', was already a huge blockbuster in the 1930s. Its inventor, Walt Disney, wanted to create a new character in addition to the decorous mouse. Donald looked cute, but could be hot-tempered and stinky. The Donald Duck™ bullion coin is delivered loose. For investors the coins are delivered per 25 in the original tube of the New Zealand Mint, per 250 coins in the original Masterbox.
