| Additional information |
This is a licensed Star Wars bullion issue struck by the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Niue, which has operated as a prolific vehicle for numismatic licensing programs since the 1990s — its arrangement with New Zealand grants it full coin-issuing authority despite a population under 2,000. The Death Star series has run across multiple reigns; this piece transitions the standard legal tender obverse from Elizabeth II to Charles III following her death in September 2022, making early-run 2024 strikes the first in this franchise to carry his effigy.
