Coin Design
Scrooge McDuck is a fictional character created in 1947 by Carl Barks during his time as a work-for-hire for The Walt Disney Company. Scrooge is an elderly Scottish anthropomorphic Pekin duck.
Named after Ebenezer Scrooge from the 1843 novel ‘A Christmas Carol’, Scrooge is an incredibly wealthy business magnate and self-proclaimed ‘adventure-capitalist’ whose dominant character trait is his thrift. His siblings are Matilda McDuck and Hortense McDuck, the maternal uncle of Della and Donald Duck, the grand-uncle of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and a usual financial backer of Gyro Gearloose.
“I made my money on the seas, and in the mines, and in the cattle wars of the old frontier! I made it by being tougher than the toughies, and smarter than the smarties! And I made it square!” – Scrooge McDuck (Only a poor old man)
Within the context of the fictional Duck universe, he is the world’s richest person. His ‘Money Bin’ – and indeed Scrooge himself – are often used as a humorous, metonyms for great wealth in popular culture around the world.
Issued by New Zealand Mint as legal tender of the South Pacific island nation of Niue, the reverse of this bullion coin features a charming portrait of Scrooge with a large bag of his own bullion coins, dressed in top hat and Scrooge spats. The coin’s obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2018 date, and the monetary denomination.
