{{/presale}}Set in a distant future, the science-fiction franchise Star Wars introduced moviegoers to a world in which droids had an outsized impact on our life. The original trilogy featured droids helping the human characters on a regular basis, while the prequel trilogy presented a terrifying world in which unlimited droid armies were ready to deploy and easy to replace. Droids were again prominent in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Provident Metals is happy to offer the 2016 Proof Niue Star Wars BB-8 1 oz Silver Coin to you for purchase online.
Highlights:
Each of the coins in the Star Wars The Force Awakens Series from the New Zealand Mint has a colorized proof finish. The colorized lacquer is applied to a select few designs on the reverse field of the coins only. In this coin, it applies to BB-8 as he traverses Jakku, while the foreground has a depiction of the droid in silver.
Obverse
Queen Elizabeth II is featured in the fifth-generation Australian portrait on the obverse of 2016 Proof Niue Star Wars BB-8 1 oz Silver Coins. Her Majesty is depicted in right-profile relief with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The Queen is often depicted on currency with this tiara that was given to her grandmother Mary of Teck in 1893.
Reverse
BB-8 is a distinctive new droid featured in the Star Wars franchise and depicted on the 2016 Proof Niue Star Wars BB-8 1 oz Silver Coin. BB-8 moves swiftly as a two-part droid with a ball for its base and a head that swivels throughout the ball as it moves. BB-8 is depicted in this design with fan favorites C-3PO and R2-D2.
History
The Force Awakens takes viewers forward into the future after the original trilogy of films. The empire has fallen and the characters of the Rebellion have largely moved on to new roles in life. However, fresh blood will be required in the Rebellion as the First Order arises in the place of the Empire with the backing of the dark side of the Force.
