Silver Ounce 2022 Star Wars - Snowtrooper 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 is part of the Faces of the Empire series; it features a Snowtrooper Helmet.

The Mint says about it:
This superb 1oz pure silver coin has been shaped and coloured to resemble the mysterious First Order Snowtrooper helmet. Officially licensed, this menacing piece has been crafted with relief to give a more detailed and realistic look. Despite its shape, this coin is still legal tender, with the obverse showing the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll.

Encasing the coin is a sleek, Star Wars themed box with a large window for easily showcasing your impressive piece. All coins are held in an acrylic capsule for further protection. Open the box to find the specifications and turn to the back for a Certificate of Authenticity and the coin’s unique number in the limited mintage.
