2017 Niue Star Wars Classic C-3PO NGC PF69UCAM First Struck 2pc Set

Bring Home the Most Courteous Hero in the Galaxy!

In the world of Star Wars™, there is an endless supply of rough and tumble renegades -- rebels that fly by the seat of their pants and play by their own rules. And if you're a fan, you know that C-3P0™ is . . . not one of them. In fact, this protocol droid is about as by-the-book as you can get, programmed to aid and assist in the finer points of etiquette.

However, while he can a bit of a killjoy at times, this Anakin Skywalker-built droid is a fluent translator and expert communicator. And, when it counts, he can be just as heroic and swashbuckling as the rest of the rebels! So, as the New Zealand Mint's popular Star Wars coin series continues, it's only natural to give "Threepio" his time in the spotlight, minted in stunning silver and gorgeous gold!

• C-3P0 IS ON TASK, BUT NOT ALONE!-- This eighth gold and 11th silver release in the Star Wars 2016-2017 series both feature our favorite 3P0 unit in mid-consultation. Superb engraving brings C-3P0 and his surroundings to life in gorgeously intricate detail. But look closely and you'll see a familiar sight -- R2-D2™ peeking in from the lower right!
• PROOF-MINTED IN HIGHLY PURE SILVER AND GOLD-- The artisans at the New Zealand Mint are known for creating gorgeous works of art, and these C-3PO coins are, quite literally, proof! Each beginning as hand-selected planchets of 99.9% fine silver and 99.99% pure gold, these one-ounce proofs are struck multiple times by polished dies, resulting in razor-sharp, frosted details that float over mirror-like fields.
• OFFICALLY LICENSED NIUE LEGAL TENDER-- Your 2017 proofs are officially licensed by Lucasfilm Ltd. -- a distinction that's stamped right into each coin! In addition, your proofs are 250 dollars (gold) and two dollars (silver) legal tender for the island nation of Niue, a fact reflected on the obverse along with Ian Rank-Broadley's profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
• CERTIFIED NEAR-FLAWLESS-- Your coins will come graded Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69 UC) by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a distinction that means your almost-flawless 2017 Star Wars C-3P0 Proofs will showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections. In addition, your proofs will both be certified as One of First 85 Struck (gold) and One of First 1500 Struck (silver) by NGC. Your proofs will also be sonically sealed in individual acrylic holders with special Star Wars labels and black display cores, giving you the best in protection and visual contrast while granting clear sightlines into every beautiful detail. Finally, your proofs will arrive to you inside black drawstring pouches with official New Zealand Mint certificates of authenticity and all of the proofs' original Star Wars-branded packaging!
• LIMITED MINTAGE PROOFS -- Only 10,000 of these silver proofs and 500 of these gold proofs will be minted for a galaxy of Star Wars fanatics!
