| Additional information |
Issued under a licensing agreement between the Monnaie de Paris and Disney, this piece belongs to a broader series launched in 2016 pairing French mint craftsmanship with American entertainment intellectual property — an arrangement that drew mixed reactions from traditional collectors. The 163.8g silver format places it firmly in the medal-weight category, produced for the gift and collectors' market rather than any plausible circulation purpose.
Disney's Mickey Mouse copyright, continuously renewed since 1928, means this character will not enter the public domain under current U.S. law until 2024 at the earliest — a legal peculiarity that gives French sovereign mint issues like this one an unusual commercial dimension.
