My Little Pony 1oz Silver Coin by New Zealand Mint

This morning I stumbled upon quite an interesting piece of upcoming Merchandise, especially those who are fan of the first generation of MLP: New Zealand Mint who is known to release silver coins themed after famous IP's such as Lord of the Rings, Disney etc. has now listed a My Little Pony one!


The coin is made of 1oz of pure silver and features the original six ponies (Blossom, Blue belle, Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, Minty and Snuzzle) in full-color together with the logo and sun. The other side of the coin features a Niue two dollar design together with a portrait of the recently passed Elizabeth II as well as the year 2022. The coin comes protected in a transparant case and is boxed in a high quality packaging featuring Starshine.

 A few months ago Loungefly teased an upcoming G1 Retro collab. The only thing we saw at that time was a very nicely looking Starshine backpack. Entertainment Earth has now listed this backpack alongside a matching Starshine Zip-around wallet on their website.
