After being relatively quiet for some time, it seems that Star Wars bullion is back on the calendar, with the launch of a new series based around the incredibly popular Original Trilogy, of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. It’s of little surprise that Luke Skywalker is the subject, for the first time, given that Darth Vader already has five bullion issues of his own.

The design depicts Skywalker, in early clothing from the first film, with a lightsaber raised. To his left is the symbol of the Rebel Alliance, itself also the subject of its own coin. The obverse is one that has the Public Seal of Niue, rather than the effigy of King Charles III.

There are two variants, both an ounce in weight. The 0.999 silver coin has a mintage of 10,000 pieces, with the 0.9999 gold version capped at a tiny 100 units. The silver coins are struck by MKS PAMP, and the gold is sold exclusively through APMEX. Available to order now.
