| Reverse description | A full-length colored depiction of a Tusken Raider — the nomadic desert warrior from the Star Wars universe — occupies the central field, shown facing slightly left and brandishing a gaderffii staff. The figure is rendered with detailed costume elements including wrapped robes, goggled mask, and breathing apparatus. The legend TUSKEN RAIDER arcs along the upper right border, while the bold STAR WARS logo appears in the lower central field. The copyright inscription encircles the lower portion of the design, and the field features a reeded inner border. |

| Additional information |
Niue has licensed Star Wars imagery since 2011, issuing an extended series of character coins under a formal agreement with Lucasfilm. The Tusken Raider — a minor antagonist with minimal screen time across the original trilogy — received its own issue in the 2012 run, an editorial choice that reflects how exhaustively the series mined the franchise's peripheral figures.
Silver-plated copper-nickel rather than fine silver, which places this squarely in the souvenir category rather than the bullion or collector-grade precious metal market.
