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 a quarter ounce of gold (abbreviated as 1/4 oz Au, where "Au" comes from the Latin word for gold, Aurum). Many of these feature famous movie characters.
This coin is the fourth release in the Star Wars Classics series by the New Zealand Mint and features the cute robot R2-D2.
It shows a scene from the science fiction movie "Star Wars - A new Hope". The droid R2-D2 was modified by technicians of the nation Naboo and Anakin Skywalker. Together with the droid C-3PO it greatly influenced galactic history. |
