| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed technical blueprint-style illustration of Luke Skywalker's lightsaber hilt rendered in white line art against a vivid blue grid-patterned field, evocative of engineering schematics. The cross-sectional cutaway view of the hilt occupies the central field, with red annotation lines identifying individual components including the Energy Core, Activation Plate, Kyber Crystal, Pommel Cap, Emitter Matrix, and High Energy Flux Aperture. A partial overhead perspective of the hilt grip is depicted in the upper left quadrant, and a detail of the emitter shroud appears in the upper right. Along the lower margin, the legends 'LIGHTSABER', the Rebel Alliance insignia, and 'LUKE SKYWALKER'S HILT (GREEN BLADE)' are inscribed in a ruled title block, completing the immersive technical document aesthetic. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific novelty bullion issuer since the early 2000s, leveraging a licensing agreement with major entertainment properties to produce legal tender coins under New Zealand monetary authority. The Star Wars franchise has generated dozens of issues under this arrangement, the commercial logic being straightforward: collectors of the films overlap imperfectly with collectors of coins, and that gap is profitable.
Charles III's effigy appearing on a Star Wars novelty issue is an unremarkable bureaucratic outcome — Niue remains a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand, so the reigning monarch appears on all its coinage regardless of subject matter.
