| Reverse description | A highly detailed, colored depiction of the iconic Death Trooper helmet from the Star Wars franchise fills the entire shaped flan. The helmet is rendered in deep black with dark grey tonal gradations highlighting the angular facial structure, visor band, and ventilator grille sections. The distinctive twin green-tinted lens apertures at the lower portion of the helmet provide a vivid color accent against the otherwise monochromatic design. No inscriptions appear on the reverse; the shaped contour of the flan precisely mirrors the silhouette of the helmet. |

Niue has functioned as a prolific licensing vehicle for foreign pop-culture issues since the early 2010s, with the New Zealand territory's arrangement granting legal-tender status to coins that will never circulate on the island's roughly 1,500-person economy. This Death Trooper piece is part of a broader Star Wars program issued under license from Disney/Lucasfilm, which acquired the franchise from George Lucas in 2012 for $4.05 billion — a deal that immediately triggered an aggressive wave of global merchandise and numismatic licensing agreements.
The Death Trooper designation itself dates to the 2016 film Rogue One.
