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 part of a long running series of Star Wars-related coins by the New Zealand Mint, and features Kylo Ren from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
The Mint says about it: This pure silver coin features the dangerous Kylo Ren and the dark side of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Images of Kylo as he appears in the film are engraved and coloured along with other First Order characters from this final movie in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
The coin arrives in a Star Wars branded box. Inside it is packaged in a perspex coin case, ideal for display, making it a great memento for any Star Wars fan or collector. Your Certificate of Authenticity sits inside the box which confirms the coin as one of a limited worldwide mintage of only 5,000. |
