Silver Ounce 2020 Star Wars - A New Hope, 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 special, limited edition rectangular silver coin features a replica image of the original poster for Star Wars - A New Hope. The design incorporates both colour and engraving. Released in 1977, the science fiction film Star Wars - Episode IV - A new Hope is the fourth episode of the Star Wars saga. The story is about the young Luke Skywalker, who accidentally discovers a secret message and looks for the actual recipient of the message - the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi. He instructs Luke, who suddenly finds himself on the side of the rebels, on the basics of force. | ||||||
