Each 2017 1 oz Niue Silver Star Wars Darth Vader Coin in this listing is in BU condition. Coins in this condition exhibit no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice a range of minor flaws including breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks from the coining process.
Darth Vader became the face, and voice, of evil in the 1970s and 1980s when the original Star Wars trilogy of films hit the big screen. Wearing a menacing all-black outfit and possessing the power to harm and kill using the force, Vader was the ultimate bad guy. His imposing figure now appears as the first design in an exciting new program from the New Zealand Mint.
The reverse face of the 2017 1 oz Niue Silver Star Wars Darth Vader Coin features a right-profile image of Darth Vader. His effigy is raised and polished on the coin’s surface, with a satin matte background that includes the imperial logo.
On the obverse of the coins you’ll find the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty features on the obverse of all commonwealth coinage, with this particular design coming from Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998 as the fourth-generation depiction of the Queen.
These coins are only available from the New Zealand Mint inside of sealed tubes containing 25 coins, or Star Wars-themed Monster Boxes containing 250 coins and a colorized image of Vader on the lid of the box. The coins are stamped with the Lucasfilm copyright and feature the New Zealand Mint logo, both set on the reverse face.
Located in Auckland, the New Zealand Mint is a private minting facility that is the only one of its kind in the nation.
