Silver Ounce 2021 Star Wars - Imperial Stormtrooper Helmet, 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 coloured and specially shaped coin is part of New Zealand Mint collection dedicated to characters and themes from the Star Wars series of movies, and the first in the Faces of the Empire series; it features the iconic Imperial Stormtrooper Helmet.

The Mint says about:
This uniquely shaped 1oz pure silver coin forms part of our Star Wars Faces of the Empire Coin Collection. The coin replicates the “face” of an Imperial Stormtrooper and follows the shape of his intimidating helmet. The design incorporates additional relief to give the image a more 3D feel. The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is found on the obverse, confirming it as legal tender.

A large window in the high-quality, compact and modern Star Wars branded case enables you to see the coin without having to open it. But, once open, the sleek black packaging reveals the coin in a specially designed case for protection alongside the specifications confirming the weight, purity and 10,000 coin mintage. The Certificate of Authenticity can be found on the back of the case along with a holographic sticker confirming the number in the mintage for the coin.
