To celebrate the 80th anniversary of Bambi, the New Zealand Mint has issued this officially licensed silver coin in full colour. First release in 1942, Bambi is one of the great animated classics that built Walt Disney’s reputation as a producer. The original story of Bambi was called “A Life in The Woods”, and featured the adventures of a young white-tailed deer Bambi and his rabbit friend, Thumper. 80 years after its first release, Bambi is regarded as one of the very successful animated films ever made.

The reverse of the coin is a still of a classic scene from Bambi, featuring the title character and his best friend, Thumper against the background of the forest. Patches of frosting accentuate the silver and enrich the design. It also includes weight, purity, and the license copyright. The obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, country of issue, year of issue, and face value.
