| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, with drop earrings and a necklace, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the left periphery and 'NIUE' at the top, with 'TWO DOLLARS' along the right periphery, all separated by raised dots. The date '2011' appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. A beaded border encircles the entire design against a mirror-polished field. |

Niue has issued licensed pop-culture coins since the 1990s under revenue-sharing arrangements with rights holders, using New Zealand's currency framework to produce legal tender pieces that function almost entirely as collectibles. This Star Wars issue was part of a 2011 series produced by the New Zealand Mint on Niue's behalf, with intellectual property licensed through Lucasfilm prior to Disney's acquisition of the franchise the following year.
