Niue has operated as a licensing vehicle for foreign coin programs since the 1990s, with the New Zealand dependency lending its name and legal tender status to collectibles produced almost entirely for the international bullion and novelty market. This piece is part of a Disney licensing arrangement — Bambi was first released by Walt Disney Productions in 1942, adapted from Felix Salten's 1923 Austrian novel. The film was a commercial disappointment on its original release, recovering its costs only after a 1947 re-release.
