2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Attack of the Clones

Niue has operated as a prolific licensing vehicle for the New Zealand Mint since the early 2000s, issuing legal tender coins under its sovereign authority for collectors who would never spend them. This piece is part of a broader Star Wars series that ran across multiple issuers and mints globally, timed to coincide with the franchise's renewed commercial push around the 40th anniversary marketing cycle and the sequel trilogy era.

Attack of the Clones was released in 2002, making the sixteen-year gap to this coin's issue date a straightforward licensing decision rather than any commemorative logic.
