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 New Zealand Mint series dedicated to characters from the Star Wars series, and is the second featuring a Mandalorian character.
The Mint says about it: "This finely engraved and coloured pure silver coin features the highly-skilled, battle-hardened, warrior Cara Dune from Disney+ series The Mandalorian.
The coin is nestled in a quality case that can be used for display. This case houses the Certificate of Authenticity, confirming the coin as 1oz pure silver and its unique number in the 2,000 mintage. This case is placed in a custom-made box featuring imagery from The Mandalorian." |
