Niue Disney's Scrooge McDuck 2026 Gold Coin, 1/10 ounce

A gold coin packaged in a protective blister pack, with a mintage of 5,000 pieces.

Scrooge McDuck was created by American cartoonist Carl Barks and first appeared in December 1947. He quickly became one of the most recognizable characters in Disney history. He is Donald Duck’s extremely wealthy, energetic, and adventure-loving uncle. The most distinctive feature of his image is a huge vault filled to the brim with gold coins, in which Scrooge loves to swim. The character’s popularity was further cemented by the animated series *DuckTales*, in which he played one of the leading roles. To this day, he remains a widely recognized symbol of wealth, perseverance, and the pursuit of financial success. A gold coin depicting Scrooge diving into his vault is an exceptionally apt fusion of the Disney universe with the theme of precious metals—and a motif that perfectly captures the essence of this iconic character.

The New Zealand Mint is the producer of officially licensed Disney collector coins, issued as legal tender under the authority of the island of Niue, a self-governing territory located in the South Pacific. Niue has long been known for issuing attractive collector coins made of precious metals. New Zealand Mint products stand out for their meticulous craftsmanship, original designs, and guaranteed precious metal content. Subsequent releases in the Disney series often sell out immediately upon release, which further increases interest in them among numismatic and gold collectors.
