| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color artwork depicting Luke Skywalker, the iconic Star Wars character, shown in a dynamic running pose across a desert landscape with twin suns visible on the horizon, brandishing an illuminated blue lightsaber. The image is rendered in vivid color print applied to the proof silver surface, evoking the aesthetic of a trading card. The edition number and mintage fraction 001/250 appear in the lower left field, with the silver specification 1 oz 999 Fine Silver inscribed along the lower border. The Lucasfilm copyright notice © & ™ Lucasfilm Ltd. is present at the lower right. The rectangular format of the coin enhances the trading-card presentation of the artwork. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated a bullion and collector coin licensing program since the 1990s, leasing its monetary authority to foreign mints — primarily the New Zealand-based NZCM and various private distributors — to produce licensed pop-culture issues that circulate legally but are never intended to leave a capsule. This piece is part of a Star Wars character series issued under that framework, with the portrait of Charles III fulfilling the sovereign requirement for Commonwealth coinage.
