We actually missed the last pair of Chibi coins released at the end of August, but the pair for early September are here now, so we’ll jump ahead. The first of them is the next Lord of the Rings issue, in this case Aragorn, A popular character, we’d imagine the building hype for the new Amazon prequel series may increase interest in this franchise.

However, the big drop this time will obviously be the title character from the super-hit Disney TV series, The Mandalorian. Expect this one to sell out so fast, availability won’t make the end of the day. The NZ Mint is pacing itself with this sub-series – only Grogu (Baby Yoda) having come out so far, but expect more to come as the third season debuts, along with spin-off series, ‘The Tales of Boba Fett’. It does look spot on, with the mint sensibly fighting the urge to make it bright and gaudy.

Both are available right now for $99 USD, or you can opt for the ‘Premium Selection’ to get one of the first 200 numbered certificates for $199 USD., but we wouldn’t recommend it for value reasons. We’ve added this pair, and the two we missed, to our comprehensive profile of the series, filled with images and videos, all neatly laid out by sub-sets.
