With this extraordinary exclusive collector's coin, the New Zealand Mint celebrates the 85th anniversary of one of the world's most famous animated series. The uniquely shaped 5-ounce issue in 999 silver brings the playful cat-and-mouse duo to precious metal in vibrant colours – and with a mintage of only 200 pieces, it is a true rarity. Anyone who owns one of these numbered coins holds a piece of television history in their hands.

This issue joins the ranks of sought-after silver coins with a pronounced collector's character. It is precisely the combination of a globally recognised licence, an unusual format and the strict limitation that makes it so appealing to collectors.

A Design with Cult Status: Tom Has Been Chasing Jerry for 85 Years

The main design shows the grey tomcat Tom with the clever mouse Jerry squeezed between two slices of bread, just about to take a bite – a wonderfully typical scene from the eternal cat-and-mouse game. Above it sits the unmistakable red "TOM AND JERRY" logo. The colourful artwork of the playful duo has been rendered in fine detail and stands out in vivid contrast against the polished silver background.

The reverse bears the large anniversary number "85th", a depiction of the two rivals during one of their countless chase scenes, and the official coat of arms of Niue (Public Seal of Niue). The design is complemented by the weight and fineness specifications – 5 oz 999 Pure Silver, 2025 – and the Warner Bros. licence marking. The distinctive contour, modelled on the shape of a playing card, measures approximately 82.00 x 86.00 mm and makes the piece a true eye-catcher.

Tom & Jerry™ was created in 1940 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. To this day, the rivalry between the cat and the mouse continues to delight generations of viewers – a timeless classic that lends this coin a special emotional appeal.

Silver as a Prized Collectible

Silver has a millennia-old tradition as a coinage metal and has always been valued by collectors and investors alike. The precious metal is durable, retains its physical properties across generations, and combines intrinsic value with high liquidity – it can be converted back into cash at any time without complications. In addition, there is broad industrial demand, for example in electronics, solar technology and medical technology, which places further strain on an already limited supply.

With a coin like this, however, the collector's value takes centre stage: the combination of an official Warner Bros. licence, high-quality colour finishing in Proof quality and the very low mintage makes this piece a sought-after rarity. Such small mintages are, in experience, quickly sold out and rarely found on the collector's market thereafter.

Tax Information

Profits from the sale of silver are generally tax-free in Germany, provided the minimum holding period of one year is observed. The coin is offered inclusive of 19% VAT (Value Added Tax). Secure one of the rare examples of this limited Tom & Jerry™ issue – a lovingly crafted showpiece that uniquely combines nostalgia with fine silver.
