| Additional information |
The New Zealand Mint operates as a private mint with no affiliation to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand — it issues coins as legal tender of Niue, a self-governing Pacific island nation in free association with New Zealand, which licenses its monetary authority for exactly this kind of high-premium collectible. The Lucasfilm licensing arrangement that produced this piece is part of a long-running Star Wars bullion and collector series that the mint has held since the early 2010s.
One troy ounce of .9999 gold with a face value of 250 Niuean dollars — a denomination nobody will ever spend.
