Silver Two Ounces 2020 Boba Fett 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 - for example, two ounces of silver (abbreviated as 2 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum).

This coin is part of New Zealand Mint collection dedicated to characters and themes from the Star Wars series of movies, and features Boba Fett's Helmet.

The Mint says about it:
"This unique coin follows the shape of one of the most well-known helmets - that worn by the notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett™.

A weighty 2oz pure silver, this coin has been minted using ultra-high relief technology to create the striking detail, including the infamous dent!

The obverse simply bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, confirming it as a limited-edition, legal tender coin. The coin is nestled in black velvet inside a high-quality Star Wars™ branded coin case - perfectly angled to display the 3D nature of the coin. The stylised Certificate of Authenticity also sits within the coin case. Along with the Star Wars-themed outer box, this coin is a truly unique collectible."
