| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised chibi-format effigy of Grand Admiral Thrawn from the Star Wars universe, rendered in full color applied over a sculpted relief field. The figure is depicted in a frontal pose, with characteristic blue skin, dark hair, and vivid red eyes, and is attired in a white Grand Admiral's uniform of the Galactic Empire complete with rank insignia plaque. The shaped flan precisely follows the outline of the character's silhouette, encompassing the rounded head and uniformed torso, enhancing the three-dimensional, collectible nature of the piece. Color application is polychrome, covering blue facial tones, white uniform details, and black lower garments. |

| Additional information |
Part of New Zealand Mint's ongoing Star Wars licensing program, this release targets the collector bullion market that has absorbed dozens of similar pop-culture silver rounds since the mid-2010s. Niue's arrangement with New Zealand Mint has made the island's legal tender framework a vehicle for this category of numismatic merchandise — the $2 face value is nominal against the silver content alone.
Grand Admiral Thrawn, notably, originated not in film but in Timothy Zahn's 1991 novel Heir to the Empire, later absorbed into Disney's official canon through the animated series Rebels.
