“Steamboat Willie” was more than just Mickey’s first film—it was one of the first cartoons to synchronize sound with the animation, blending music and sound effects to create a more immersive experience. This innovation cemented Disney’s status as a leader in the animation world, setting a new benchmark for the industry.

On the obverse side of the 2014 Proof Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie Gold Coin, you’ll find an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This right-profile portrait of the Queen, created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998, shows her wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.

The reverse side of the 2014 Proof Niue Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie Gold Coin features Mickey Mouse at the helm of a steamboat. This early version of Mickey from “Steamboat Willie” is a bit different from the refined character we know today. Back then, Mickey had a more mischievous and playful side, fitting the slapstick style of humor popular in that era.
