| Reverse description | Central depiction of Mickey Mouse in a scene from the 1947 Disney cartoon 'Mickey's Delayed Date', shown in a dynamic crouching pose, dressed in a tuxedo with top hat airborne above him, set against a stylised architectural interior background rendered in high relief. The composition captures Mickey in animated motion, faithful to the original cel artwork of the classic short film. Along the lower rim, a curved inscription reads '1/4 oz 9999 Gold © Disney - Mickey's Delayed Date, 1947' in fine lettering against the polished field. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a Disney-licensed bullion series issued by the New Zealand Mint — a private mint, not New Zealand's sovereign minting authority, despite the name. The "Delayed Date" designation refers to a specific production variant within the Mickey Mouse gold coin program, where revised date attribution created a sub-type collected alongside the standard issue. At 7.77575 grams of .9999 fine gold, the specification matches a quarter-ounce format, which anchors its value firmly to spot rather than numismatic premium for most buyers.
