Silver Three Hundred Grams 2024 Star Wars - Death Star, 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 coins under the authority of Niue. Most of these are commemorative and collector issues dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to Niue itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes - including the very large ten ounces of silver format (abbreviated as 10 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum).

This three-dimensional (spherical) representation of the Death Star is part of a large range of New Zealand Mint legal tender coins featuring themes from the Star Wars series of movies.

The Death Star was a mobile combat station under the command of the Galactic Empire and its planning began before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. The firepower of the built-in super laser was strong enough to destroy an entire planet. Prior to the destruction of this first Death Star by the Rebel Alliance, the planet Alderaan fell victim to it. For the Empire, the Death Star, with its massive military punch, was intended primarily as a deterrent, spreading paralyzing fear to ensure Emperor Palpatine's reign of terror.
