| Reverse description | The reverse is struck and colored in the form of a Clone Trooper helmet from the Star Wars franchise, specifically representing the 212th Attack Battalion. The helmet is rendered in vivid color with a white base and distinctive orange and white chevron markings on the upper dome. The large black visor and characteristic T-shaped faceplate detail are faithfully reproduced with applied color, and the overall shaped flan follows precisely the contours of the helmet silhouette, including the side ventilation panels and chin details. |

| Additional information |
The 212th Attack Battalion is a Star Wars fictional military unit — clone troopers under Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, distinguished by their orange-marked armor. Niue has issued legal tender coins under licensing agreements with Lucasfilm since at least 2011, a licensing arrangement that makes the Pacific island nation one of the more unusual vehicles for collectible pop-culture bullion.
