The New Zealand Mint and the issuing nation of Niue, recently released the all new STAR WARS™ Rebel Alliance $2 silver bullion coin, dated 2022. This is the eleventh release in the popular STAR WARS™ bullion series by the New Zealand Mint and features features the iconic Rebel Alliance Starbird Symbol.
Following the collapse of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire, an alliance of star systems rebelled and thus began the Galactic Civil War. As a symbol of that alliance, rebel leaders such as Leia Organa would adopt the starbird or phoenix which had appeared informally in anti-Imperial graffiti, in response to the demise of Galen Marek whose family crest bore the same symbol. This symbol would also appear on the helmets, starships and other equipment of the alliance. Thanks to the leadership of Leia Organa, Admiral Ackbar, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and many others the Rebellion would eventually be victorious.
The coin is an officially licensed STAR WARS™ collectable with a limited worldwide mintage of only 25,000 coins. These 2022 dated bullion coins are in GEM Brilliant Uncirculated condition with a beautiful proof-like finish. Each coin contains one ounce of 0.999 pure silver with a face value of $2.00 NZD.
Each coin will be shipped in a 2x2 non-PVC safety flip unless you buy 20 coins which would come in their original plastic mint tube. The coins also fit into our 39 mm plastic capsules (sold separately in packs of ten holders).
