Gold Ounce 2021 Star Wars - Anakin Skywalker, Coin from Niue - detailed information

Niue, a sovereign state in free association with New Zealand, uses two official legal tender currencies. The New Zealand Dollar is the circulation currency for daily transactions, while the government also authorises legal tender coins in the Niue Dollar currency for collector's purposes.

A number of mints issue a large variety of commemorative and collector coins under the authority of Niue. These coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to Niue itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes - such as one ounce of gold (abbreviated as 1 oz Au, where "Au" comes from the Latin word for gold, Aurum). Many of these feature famous movie characters.

This coin is part of a New Zealand Mint series dedicated to characters from the Star Wars series, and features Anakin Skywalker.

The Mint says about it:
"This intricately engraved 1oz gold coin shows Anakin Skywalker piloting his Podracer to success in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

The 1oz gold coin is placed inside a high-quality coin case and Star Wars themed box. The Certificate of Authenticity is included in the coin case and shows the coin’s unique number in the mintage."
