The legend 'TWO DOLLARS' is inscribed in the upper arc, with the date '2023' below the seal, and the fineness designation '1 oz 999 Fine Silver' along with the copyright notice '© & TM Lucasfilm Ltd' appearing in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has functioned as a coin-issuing vehicle for foreign mints since the 1990s, its legal tender framework used almost exclusively to produce collectibles with no circulation intent. This piece is part of that long-running arrangement, issued under the New Zealand Realm's authority but bearing no meaningful connection to Niuean monetary life.
The Sabine Wren subject places this within a wave of officially licensed Star Wars numismatic products that expanded sharply after Disney's 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm, which opened broad merchandising rights to mint partners worldwide.
