The Lunar Calendar-based precious metals market’s latest entrant are these unique offerings from the New Zealand Mint. The 2017 5g Disney Lunar Year of the Dog Silver Banknote is now available to purchase at SD Bullion. Issued by the island nation of Niue, these banknotes are in fact legal tender in the country. Each of these notes bear a $0.20 (NZD) face value.

The New Zealand Mint is a privately-owned company based in Auckland. In fact, this is the only private mint in New Zealand. Although it primarily produces gold and silver bullion products, it is also a physical storage provider.

Modelled after a banknote, these are essentially silver foils crafted using 5 grams of 0.999 pure silver. Featuring a much wider surface area than coins, these foils have substantially more space for artists to express themselves.

The reverse sides of these banknotes feature perhaps the most beloved Disney character to date, Mickey Mouse. A stylized dog accompanies him, while the Chinese character for dog hovers above the image.

On the other hand, the obverses feature the familiar image of Queen Elizabeth II – created by Ian Rank-Broadley. The issuing nation’s name ‘Niue’ is written on this side along with the note’s face value and silver weight and purity.

These 2017 5g Disney Lunar Year of the Dog Silver Banknote is definitely one of the more unique ways to honor the Lunar Calendar. Collectors and investors will love the quality and artwork displayed on this silver foil, which is fully backed by a sovereign nation.
