| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and collector coin issuing authority since the 1990s, leveraging its status as a New Zealand realm territory to license popular cultural properties — a revenue stream that now funds a significant portion of the island's government budget. The "Rey" designation places this within a Star Wars character bullion series produced under licensing agreement with Lucasfilm, part of a broader New Zealand Mint program targeting the collector market rather than circulation.
Niue's population hovers around 1,500 people. No issued coin of this type has ever seen a day of commerce on the island.
