The Coin:
The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, with her name and the legal tender value of Niue TWO DOLLARS along the edge. The reverse depicts Goofy in stride, an unabashed sense of joy on his face as he moves from one unexpected scenario to the other. A strip of film floats in the background, appropriately framing the whimsical dog that grew into one of the most popular Disney characters of all time. The coin is presented in a Perspex case allowing 360 degree presentation, and a Certificate of Authenticity is displayed on top of the case.

The Story:
Goofy is a comical cartoon character created by Disney in the 1932 film Mickey’s Revue. A tall, anthropomorphic dog, Goofy typically wears a turtle neck, waistcoat, white gloves, and a tall hat originally designed as a rumpled fedora. A close friend of Mickey Mouse, Goofy is one of Disney’s most popular characters. Characterized as being extremely clumsy, he at times shows surprising intuition and knowledge, albeit in his own unique and eccentric way. Goofy’s catchphrase is ‘gawrsh!’ his usual exclamation of surprise, along with a distinctive chuckle. Having featured in television shows and comic books, Goofy was given his own series of shorts during the 1940’s, two of which were nominated for ACADEMY AWARDS ®.
