| Additional information |
Niue has issued licensed pop-culture bullion and collectible pieces under New Zealand's monetary authority since the early 2000s, making it one of the more prolific small-nation issuers of themed legal tender. The Disney licensing arrangement that covered the Star Wars franchise allowed for a run of character-specific pieces beginning in the mid-2010s. This Han Solo and Chewbacca issue is part of that series, released in 2018 under the "A New Hope" sub-branding tied to the original 1977 film.
At 5g of .999 silver, the piece carries negligible bullion value. Its market is purely collector-driven.
