Silver Ounce 2018 Star Wars - The Phantom Menace, 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 famous movie characters.

The Mint says about this coin:
This limited edition coin celebrates the first of the Star Wars prequel movies, The Phantom Menace, which was released in May 1999. Licensed by Disney, it features a replica image of the original poster for the movie. The design cleverly incorporates both colour and engraving.

This 1oz fine silver collectible comes presented in a clever perspex holder, designed to frame the coin and allow for easy display. The serialised Certificate of Authenticity sits within the packaging and both are Star Wars branded to complement the coin - making this an ideal purchase for any Star Wars fan or coin collector.
