Disney's licensing of its IP for foreign legal tender issues has been a reliable revenue stream since the 1980s, but Barbados has been a particularly active partner — the Central Bank has issued collectible commemoratives on a scale well out of proportion to the island's population of roughly 280,000. This piece marks a century since Mickey's screen debut in *Steamboat Willie*, the 1928 short that also happened to be one of the first synchronized sound cartoons, a technical milestone that explains why the character survived when other silent-era animated figures did not.
The KM#388a suffix indicates the gold-plated variant, distinguished from the standard cupro-nickel strike catalogued separately.
