2016 Niue $2 Star Wars Classic - Princess Leia Silver Proof (No Tax)
After its release in 1977, Star Wars captured the head and minds of a generation around the world.
The beautiful Princess Leia Organa is a symbol of diplomacy, strength, and hope within the Rebel Alliance. While serving as the youngest member of the imperial Senate, Princess Leia secretly leads the struggling Rebellion in their mission to overthrow the Galactic Empire.
After being captured and forced to witness the destruction of her homeworld, Leia continues to place her dedication to the Alliance above her own personal needs and safety. She makes a new family within the Rebellion and with her rescuers, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. Soon, the Princess develops feelings for Han and begins to display a tender warmth previously hidden beneath her brave exterior.
During the Battle of Endor, the Princess discovers Luke to be her twin brother, separated at birth to protect them from their father, the villainous Darth Vader. Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi had placed them in hiding because he knew that if Vader's offspring were allowed to realize their latent Force abilities, they would be the only hope in returning peace and order to the galaxy. Through this realised potential and strong resolve, Leia helps the Rebellion succeed in bringing the Empire's tyranny to an end.
Princess Leia Organa was one of the Rebel Alliance's greatest leaders, fearless on the battlefield and dedicated to ending the tyranny of the Empire. Daughter of Padma Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, sister of Luke Skywalker, and with a soft spot for scoundrels, Leia ranks among the galaxy's great heroes.
This stunningly engraved 1 oz silver coin features Princess Leia Organa hiding plans for the Death Star in R2-D2.
Presented in a high-quality Star Wars branded and stylized inner coin case and themed outer coin packaging, this coin would make an excellent gift for Star Wars fans or collectors. The Certificate of Authenticity sits within the coin case and there is a worldwide limited mintage of 10,000 coins.
