Silver Ounces 2022 Star Wars - X-Wing Starfighter, 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 specially shaped coin is part of an extensive New Zealand Mint series featuring characters and themes from the Star Wars movie saga, and depicts the iconic X-Wing Starfighter.

The T-65 X-wing Starfighter is known for its versatility and role in the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. With its distinctive curved wings and powerful weapons, the X-Wing is a symbol of resistance and hope. Pilots like Luke Skywalker™ used these fast and maneuverable ships to boldly charge into battle and fight for the freedom of the galaxy.
