The Royal Dutch Mint presents a new issue in the 2020 program: “65 Years of miffy”! Because a number of issues are postponed as a result of the corona crisis, new issues are added to the annual program. The Royal Dutch Mint celebrates Miffy’s 65th birthday and pays tribute to Dick Bruna with three exclusive issues.
Coincard and Royal Delft TilesTo celebrate Miffy’s 65th birthday the Royal Dutch Mint launches a golden issue in coincard (including the Dutch 2 euro coin of 2020 in BU-quality!), and a two strictly limited issues in silver and gold in collaboration with Royal Delft. The pure silver and gold issues are placed in beloved Delft Blue tiles. The tile with the gold issue is hand-painted and limited to only 10 pieces. All issues show the cheerful portrait of Dick Bruna on the obverse and the Miffy anniversary logo on the reverse. The issues can be removed from the tiles to admire both sides.
miffy and Dick Bruna
Miffy, in Dutch known as “nijntje”, is one of the most successful and beloved creations of illustrator and writer Dick Bruna (1927 – 2017). On 23 August, the day on which Dick Bruna was born, Miffy herself will perform the ceremonial First Strike of this issue in the new Mint in Houten. The issues can already be ordered one month before: from 23 July!
The 65 Years of miffy issues are available now. Miffy is internationally known and loved, so a high demand is expected. Don’t wait too long!
