2018 Niue $5 2-oz Silver Star Wars Stormtrooper Ultra High Relief NGC PF70UC First Releases Black Core

Add a Silver Stormtrooper to Your Star Wars Collection

They’ve been conscripts, volunteers, clones, and even engineered from birth to serve the Empire and First Order. But from whatever corner of the galaxy they came from, the Stormtroopers from the Star Wars films are instantly recognizable for their white armor and single-minded mission to wipe out “rebel scum.”

To pay tribute to their vital role in the Star Wars films, the prestigious New Zealand Mint has released a new coin featuring one of these faceless, nameless – and thankless – galactic warriors. This 2018 Niue Stormtrooper Two-Ounce Silver Proof is the fourth release in the New Zealand Mint’s Ultra High Relief Star Wars series, which began in 2017 following the tremendous success of the one ounce Star Wars Classics series. Your proof has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in perfect Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition. In addition, your proof will also be certified as a First Releases (FR) coin by NGC, meaning that it was among the first struck by the mint and was verified within the first 30 days of issue. It will come sonically sealed in an acrylic case with a black display core and an exclusive Star Wars label!

Stormtroopers are everywhere. They’ve been a mainstay of the Star Wars Universe and inspired thousands – if not millions – of people to dress up like them at fan conventions and movie premiers. Whether they’re been shot with laser blasters, blown up, incinerated, crushed, or even shoved down garbage compactors, they are disposable villains who often die in comical fashion. And as any Star Wars fan knows, they also serve as a sneaky way for the filmmakers to have celebrities make uncredited cameos in the franchise. Stars like Daniel Craig and Academy Award-nominated actor Tom Hardy have both played Stormtroopers. The A-list celebrities making cameos as Stormtroopers even extends to royalty as Prince William and Prince Harry have taken a break from their duties to appear as Stormtroopers.

And, while it seems like there is an endless supply of mindless Stormtroopers, the same can’t be said about these coins. The New Zealand Mint has set the maximum worldwide limit edition for this proof at just 5,000 – a number that’s obviously far too low for all of the Star Wars fans who would like to own one of these fantastic coins! Don’t wait – add the 2018 Star Wars Stormtrooper Two-Ounce Silver Ultra High-Relief Proof to your cart today!
