| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as one of the more commercially aggressive issuers in the collector bullion market, licensing pop-culture properties to generate revenue for a Pacific island nation with a population under 2,000. The Star Wars licensing agreement with Lucasfilm — struck prior to Disney's 2012 acquisition — produced a sprawling series of issues across multiple years and metals. This is one of them.
One troy ounce of .9999 fine gold in a licensed character coin: the premium over spot has historically tracked collector demand for the Star Wars series rather than any numismatic fundamentals.
