| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed rendering of the Death Star from the Star Wars universe, presented as a deeply sculpted hemispherical surface with concentric bands of intricate geometric paneling radiating outward from a central superlaser dish. The concave superlaser focusing lens is prominently rendered at the center, surrounded by multiple circular raised rings and densely packed rectangular surface modules suggesting the station's vast artificial infrastructure. Toward the upper portion of the field, the characteristic polar concave dish — the thermal exhaust port region — is rendered in high relief as a distinct recessed oval form. The entire surface is finished in antiqued silver, enhancing the three-dimensional depth and dark metallic aesthetic of the iconic fictional space station. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

Niue has operated as a prolific licensing vehicle for novelty bullion since the early 2000s, issuing coins under agreements with major IP holders — this kilo piece falls under a licensing arrangement with Lucasfilm, by then a Disney subsidiary following the 2012 acquisition. The one-kilo format was a deliberate premium tier, produced in strictly limited numbers to justify the licensing cost per unit.
KM# 340 is among the heavier single issues in Niue's Star Wars run, which spanned multiple years and denominations.
