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 famous movie characters.
The Mint says about this coin: Officially licensed by Disney, this rectangle-shaped coin is a superb collectable for fans of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Famous for a mesmerising Light Saber duel between Yoda and Count Dooku, the movie is the thrilling second instalment from the saga’s prequel trilogy.
The coin’s reverse portrays a coloured image of the original movie poster for Star Wars Attack of the Clones featuring Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi together with other characters and scenes from the epic episode. The set is presented in an innovative perspex coin case and branded outer box. Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. |
