Silver Two Ounces 2021 Star Wars - Clone Trooper 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 a Clone Trooper Helmet.

The Mint says about:
"This unique coin follows the outline shape of the variant helmet rather than being a traditional round. Ultra-High Relief Minting techniques have been used to add more depth to the design. The obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, confirming it as a limited-edition, legal tender coin.

The coin is protected by a coin capsule nestled in black velvet inside an impressive coin case. When open, it showcases the 3D aesthetic of the coin."
