Silver Ounce 2016 Star Wars - Yoda, 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, bullion 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 - typically, one ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum). Many of these feature famous movie characters.

This coin is the third release in the Star Wars Classics series by the New Zealand Mint and features the famous character Yoda.

It shows a scene from the science fiction movie "Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back". The Jedi master Yoda is hiding from the empire on the planet Dagobah.
