Silver Ounce 2022 Star Wars - Sandcrawler, 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 coin is part of a New Zealand Mint series featuring characters and themes from the Star Wars movie saga, and shows the Sandcrawler fighting machine.

The Mint says about it:
This 1oz silver coin shows the massive fortress Sandcrawler, as seen in Star Wars: A New Hope, moving across the Tatooine landscape.

Officially licensed by Lucasfilm Ltd, this delicately engraved coin is made from .999 pure silver and is legal tender. The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II can be found on the obverse. A Certificate of Authenticity is printed on the back of the box, which is Star Wars themed. The coin’s unique number in the mintage is also placed on to this modern and compact packaging. A flap opens to reveal the coin specifications – including confirmation of the mintage of only 2.000 coins!
