A shaped series of coins that seem to be a mix of elements from the dimensional helmet series and the Animated TV style. At present, these remain focused on the Empire, but we’d not be surprised to see a Rebel Alliance series follow, or even The Mandalorian.

A highish mintage means availability should be better.

This range is the only one to focus exclusively on the hardware that makes up a large part of the Star Wars Universe. Six coins in total, they’re presented as blueprints on the reverse face. There’s very little in the way of struck detail with these, and they’re quite hard to read because of the relatively small size, but they look decent enough. An unusual set, they have a recommended price of $80.00 USD each.

Part Star Wars Classic and part coloured movie coin, this series is rapidly working its way through the characters of the smash-hit Disney Plus TV show, The Mandalorian.

A new series of bigger coins, almost like a ‘masterpiece’ series, made up of a collage of images of the chosen character.

A classic New Zealand Mint coloured coin series, this one depicts the characters in the animated series, ‘The Bad Batch’, about a group of experimental clones with independent minds. A relatively staid series, almost by the numbers.

With Star Wars experiencing a creative resurgence after taking a bit of a battering from six less than brilliant films, it’s of little surprise that the cause of it, the new television series, have become the focus of the New Zealand Mint. Essentially a peripheral character, ‘Baby Yoda’ went on to become the merchandising hit of the last two years, and the character now known as ‘Grogu’, has already put in an appearance on several NZ Mint coins.

The latest is this shaped one-ounce coin depicting Grogu in his iconic floating ‘pram’. It’s all a bite cutesy, but there’s no arguing with the design and the focus of it. We reckon this one will be very popular, although the 10,000 mintage is higher than many other coins of its type. Available from today.

Exclusive to German dealer EMK, this NZ Mint produced coin is spherical, so truly dimensional, and weighs in at a giant kilogram of fine silver. It’s a pretty detailed coin for its 58 mm diameter, and the antique finish suits it well. Just 299 will be struck, with a price tag just shy of €3,000.

A pretty cool idea in a format new to Star Wars coins. Antique finished with colour highlights, they depict the soldiers that enforced the Empire’s will.

A new range for the 40th anniversary of what is widely touted as the best Star Wars movie. There’s a very limited 7.78g gold coin with a unique design, as well as a set that consists of a 5g silver foil and a 1oz silver coin, both featuring different versions of the movie poster.

Also offered is a 40th anniversary version of the original 2018 1oz rectangular poster coin.

A series of six character coins, these showcase the new characters from the first of the latest trilogy, The Force Awakens. These have the same basic format as the Star Wars Classic range, but choose colour over a detailed strike. This is something that is probably more attractive to the casual collector, rather than the more dedicated coin enthusiast.

Three character coins again, these focus on the big bad and on a pair of more established characters than The Force Awakens issues. In most respects, they follow the same design ethos and will appeal to the same group as before. A little forgettable compared to Star Wars Classic for the coin collector, we know that coloured coins seem to have greater appeal to the casual collector.

The mint has a long record of issuing cleanly struck coins for the characters, but employing colour for those issued to mark the release of a new movie. That is indeed the case again, and this pair of coins (sold separately) feature the main characters of the sequel trilogy, Rey and Kylo Ren.

A clean quarter-ounce fine gold proof coin depicting the hit character from the first two sequel movies, BB-8, and a new one, D-O. These coins are less than an inch in diameter, so don’t hold the same amount of detail as a 1oz silver coin, but the two droids are instantly recognisable.

Simple proof finish one ounce silver coins, the three released to date cover the two standalone movies, Rogue One (two coins) and Solo. Not particularly adventurous again, they are well produced issues for the casual collector and the Star Wars fan. There will likely be coins issued to cover any future movies like this.

A series of one troy ounce fine silver coins in a rectangular format that reproduce the well regarded movie poster art of all the movies. The coins come in superb solid acrylic display frames which look great. Mintage is set at 10,000 and the recommended price is $85.00 USD. Early coins have seen some aftermarket appreciation.
