After several decades of what critics and viewers deemed to be subpar films from Disney, the company rebounded starting in 1989 with a series of animated feature films that achieved success at the box office while also garnering positive reviews from film critics. The Lion King remains one of the standouts from this era that is often called the Disney Renaissance.
Released on June 14, 1994, The Lion King would gross more than $763 million around the globe. It finished the 1994 calendar year as the highest-grossing film overall, as well as the highest-grossing animated film. In fact, it remains the highest-grossing traditional animated film of all time. The Lion King wasn’t done after it left the box office. It also set a record for the best-selling film on home video with some 55 million copies sold around the world.
The obverse of the 2020 Gold Niue Lion King Circle of Life Coins features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara on her head. This design was created for the Royal Mint as its fourth-generation effigy in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley.
On the reverse side of 2020 1 oz Gold Lion King Circle of Life Coins is a depiction of the baboon, Rafiki, standing at the top of Pride Rock as he holds aloft in both hands the young lion cub known as Simba. This was the moment from the film that became synonymous with the song The Circle of Life.

A Mint State 69 coin showcases full, original mint luster with no more than two minor detractions. Acceptable flaws at this grade are limited to minuscule contact marks or hairlines and must be outside the primary focal points of the coin.
