2018 Niue 1 Dollar 5 Gram Silver Foil Star Princess Leia Colorized Proof-Like Note

Honoring the Powerful Woman in the Series

While recent Star Wars films have produced more balance between the sexes, the early movies were dominated by male characters. For many, this was emblematic of a male-dominated world, one in which women had only begun to rise to equality. It is no surprise, then, that the one woman to feature prominently, assuming leadership roles in both politics and combat, would be considered a hero for girls and women. Now, this 2018 Niue 5g Silver Princess Leia Proof honors one of the silver screen’s most famous powerful women.

• PART OF THE "STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE" SERIES – This 2018 Niue Silver Princess Leia Foil Note is part of a series of notes that feature key characters from the movie that started it all in 1977.

• SELECTIVELY COLORIZED – The note’s reverse features two images of the princess, a colorized one to the left with Princess Leia alone holding her blaster. To the right is a silver image that shows Leia speaking with R2-D2.

• NIUE LEGAL TENDER -- Each 2018 Silver Princess Leia Foil Note is one dollar legal tender in Niue. Niue is an island nation in the South Pacific that is known for its stark limestone cliffs and the coral reef on which the island is situated.

• UNIQUE MINTAGE NUMBER – Each note has a unique number in the mintage and comes in a protective sleeve.

• A LIMITED MINTAGE – While there are tens of millions of avid Star Wars fans around the world, just 50,000 pieces were struck in this mintage.

The 1970s were a tumultuous time in American history, with the Vietnam War, impeachment, inflation, and the Cold War causing people to look for hope and inspiration wherever they could find it. For girls, the search for heroines was especially important given that women still had a long way to go to reach parity with men. In such an environment, Princess Leia made it appear not only possible for women to assume important roles but natural, even essential, for them to do so.
