Silver Ounce 2022 Star Wars - The Bad Batch: Wrecker, 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 Wrecker of Clone Force 99, also known as The Bad Batch.

The Mint says about it:
This brilliant Star Wars: The Bad Batch coin features the demolitions expert of the group, Wrecker! It is made with 1oz of pure silver and presents a coloured image of the mighty fighter, which stands out against the mirror finish background. He is shown donning his armour, ready to destroy enemy material. Detailed engravings of his helmet and the phrases "he Bad Batch" and "The Clone Force 99" round off the coin’s design.

Officially licensed, each keepsake arrives in a Star Wars themed box that displays powerful images of the entire squad. As a legal tender coin, it features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a Certificate of Authenticity, printed on the box. Also on the box, is a unique serial number, confirming the coin’s place in the limited mintage of 3,000.
