Trained as FN-2187 since his birth, the character known as Finn starts out in The Force Awakens as a member of the First Order’s storm troopers. His character changes allegiances very early following a skirmish on Jakku that tests his moral character.
Fleeing from the First Order and finding himself aligned with the beautiful Rey, Finn begins a dangerous trek that appears to be leading him right to the resistance. In fact, the first character he encounters is Poe Dameron, a fighter pilot for the resistance he refers to him simply as Finn, giving him his name for the series.
On the obverse of all 2016 Niue Silver Star Wars Finn Coins is the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, this image represents the fourth-generation effigy of the Queen on commonwealth coins.
The reverse of the 2016 1 oz Niue Silver Star Wars Finn Coin depicts this main character in the same manner as others in the Force Awakens Series. Three total images of Finn appear on the surface, with one close-up in silver and the background field entirely colorized. Another close-up of Finn is featured in the colorized background, along with an action shot from the film.
All 2016 1 oz Niue Silver Star Wars Finn Coins arrive in Star Wars-branded display boxes, complete with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, and both parts ship to you in a Star Wars-themed shipper.
