1 Dollar - Elizabeth II A New Hope: C-3PO and R2D2

Niue has operated a bullion and commemorative licensing program since the 1990s, leasing its sovereign issuing authority to foreign mints and distributors — a revenue model common among small Pacific island nations with negligible domestic coin circulation. The New Zealand Mint produces the majority of Niue's licensed issues under this arrangement. This piece is part of a broader Star Wars series issued across multiple years, authorized through the Disney licensing framework that followed the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion.
