When a new era of galactic warfare came to the Star Wars universe in the trilogy of prequel films by George Lucas, it came in the form of the troopers for whom the Clone Wars were named. Formidable soldiers replicated from one of the galaxy’s most fearsome mercenaries, they had the ostensible purpose of keeping order in the galaxy, but were in fact the beginning of the end of the Galactic Republic they were meant to serve. Their complicated legacy is commemorated by the New Zealand Mint with the 2022 1 oz Niue Silver The Faces of the Empire Clone Trooper Phase 1 Shaped Coin.
Coin Highlights:
The evil Galactic Empire rose to power in the Star Wars universe by the manipulation of conflict, creating an artificial crisis for the Galactic Republic in the form of a Separatist Alliance wielding vast robot armies, and then creating a “solution” to the problem in the form of a clone army. In the early stages of the Clone Wars, they wore Phase 1 armor that had been designed by their creators in cooperation with the bounty hunter Jango Fett who was the source of their genetic code.
The 2022 Niue Silver The Faces of the Empire Clone Trooper Phase 1 Shaped Coin commemorates this iconic faction in fine medallic sculpture with subtle colors and high relief. Each coin comes in a windowed display box with a Certificate of Authenticity that identifies its unique number in the mintage.
The coin’s obverse side features Queen Elizabeth II in an official effigy that identifies it as legal tender, despite its unusual shape. Surrounded by the inscriptions “Elizabeth II,” “Niue,” “Two Dollars,” and “2022,” it’s accompanied by confirmation of the coin’s weight and silver content and the copyright and trademark of Lucasfilm Ltd.
The iconic Phase One clone trooper helmet forms the coin’s reverse side. The design is a halfway point between Jango Fett’s Mandalorian helmet and those of the Stormtroopers whose time would come with the rise of Empire.
