The most famous cat and mouse are without a doubt Tom and Jerry. In 2020, they celebrate their 80th birthday. The Royal Dutch Mint released two very special issues in honour of the comical duo.
In 1940, the first Tom and Jerry cartoon aired on American television. The short clips show the frustrating attempts of Tom trying to catch Jerry. Together, they even won seven Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film. You cannot have one without the other. That is why the Royal Dutch Mint brings them together on a comical issue, available in coincard and in pure gold!Obverse with two individual images!
The colourful coincard and the special gold issue (strictly limited to 80 pieces!) depict the mischievous two. The innovative multiview technique makes it possible that the obverse depicts not one, but two individual images which are only visible from a certain angle. Tilt the issue to one side and you will see Tom, and tilt it to the other side to reveal Jerry. The reverse shows the Tom and Jerry anniversary logo. The 80 Years of Tom and Jerry issues are now on sale, order quickly!
