In this 2016 5 oz Proof French Gold Mickey Mouse Through the Ages Coin you’ll find imagery reflective of Mickey Mouse from PLANE CRAZY. Originally created and screen tested in 1928, the film wasn’t distributed until 1929 because the original animated short was a silent film depicting Mickey as he tried to mimic Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight.

On the obverse of the Proof French Gold Mickey Mouse Through the Ages coin is the image of a quizzical Mickey Mouse, as first seen in PLANE CRAZY. The film didn’t test well originally because it was a silent film, but when it was re-released in 1929 in sound it took off.

The reverse of all 2016 5 oz Proof French Gold Mickey Mouse Through the Ages coins includes the same design featured on all five coins in the collection. The iconic right-profile portrait of Mickey Mouse is captured in brilliant gold relief, with engravings of the face value, year of issue, and Mickey’s name.

Monnaie de Paris, or the Paris Mint, is the official sovereign minting facility of the French government. Originally opened in 864, it is the world’s oldest institution and currently produces Eurozone currency for France and the European Union.
