| Reverse description | The reverse displays a highly detailed rendering of Boba Fett's Starfighter (Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft) from the Star Wars universe, depicted in a dynamic three-quarter top-down perspective occupying the majority of the coin's field. A TIE Fighter is visible in the upper left background, adding depth and narrative context to the composition. The vessel's distinctive saucer-shaped hull, elongated wing cannons, and cockpit viewport are rendered with precise relief work. The inscription 'BOBA FETT'S STARFIGHTER™' appears in bold block lettering along the lower portion of the field, while the legend '1 oz 9999 Fine Gold © & ™ Lucasfilm Ltd.' curves along the right rim. |

| Additional information |
New Zealand Mint, despite its name, is a private mint with no role in producing New Zealand's circulating coinage — it operates under license from the island nation of Niue, whose government provides the legal tender framework for exactly this kind of collectible issue. The Star Wars licensing arrangement underpinning this piece runs through the Walt Disney Company, which acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 for $4 billion and has since authorized an extensive range of bullion and numismatic products.
Boba Fett's ship — the Slave I, rebranded by Lucasfilm around 2021 simply as "Boba Fett's Starfighter" in official materials — got that quiet name change just before this coin entered production.
