Silver Three Ounces 2022 Star Wars - Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, 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, or are based on the troy ounce - for example, three ounces of silver (abbreviated as 3 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum).

This coin is part of a New Zealand Mint series featuring characters and themes from the Star Wars movie saga, and is the first in the Battle Scenes sub-series; it features Anakin Skywalker vs. Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The Mint says about it:
Officially licensed, this gripping 3oz pure silver coin re-imagines the duel on Mustafar as seen in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi are highlighted in the middle of their lightsaber battle through the use of detailed engravings and a frosted finish. This contrasts wonderfully with the coloured landscape of the volcanic world. To further accentuate the design, coloured images of Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padme Amidala, and Emperor Palpatine have been added. A mirror finish background completes this epic piece.

The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II can be found on the obverse and confirms the coin is legal tender. Each special coin arrives in a modern, Star Wars-themed box lined with black velvet. A Certificate of Authenticity is found on the back of the box, along with the coin’s unique serial number in the mintage. Flip open the box to see the full specifications.
