Oh so cool! I looked into it a little more and turns out it's from a tiny little island country called Niue in the South Pacific in free association with New Zealand. They use the New Zealand dollar, but also legal tender coins with the Niue dollar for collector's purposes. They have tons of characters from Disney, Star Wars, and even Pokemon. These coins have been mostly bullion (a coin struck from precious metal and kept as a store of value or an investment, rather than used in day-to-day commerce, like USA's Silver Eagle coins) and non-circulating base metal commemorative issues. They are acceptable as legal tender within Niue, though unlikely to be found anywhere on the island. Here's both of their Ariel coins: www.govmint.com/2015-niue-1-oz-silver-disney-ariel-proof.html(^with a little souvenir booklet, very cute!) www.govmint.com/2015-niue-quarter-oz-gold-disney-ariel-proof.html
