| Reverse description | A stylised chibi-format full-figure effigy of Anakin Skywalker from the Star Wars franchise, rendered in bold low relief across the shaped flan. The character is depicted facing front with characteristic swept brown hair, furrowed brows, and an intense expression, dressed in his Jedi tunic and utility belt. The contoured flan is shaped to follow the outline of the figure's head and torso, with the matte and mirror surfaces of the gold plating contrasting to articulate facial and costume details. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face. |

| Additional information |
Niue has licensed pop culture imagery for collector coins since the early 2010s, operating under a long-standing agreement with major entertainment IP holders that has produced dozens of Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars releases. The practical issuing authority is the New Zealand Reserve Bank, which guarantees the face value, though these pieces are manufactured entirely for the collector market and are never intended for circulation.
Lucasfilm's licensing terms require Disney approval on all portrait-adjacent uses of character likenesses following the 2012 acquisition — meaning this coin went through a longer approval chain than most commemorative issues of comparable production scope.
