The Star Wars feature films aren’t known for necessarily producing lovable characters, unless you find the innocence and feisty nature of a short droid to be lovable. R2D2 is arguably among the most memorable characters from a film franchise that has spanned 5 decades now and will eventually total 9 major motion pictures. Right now, the 2016 1 oz Silver Niue Star Wars R2D2 Coin is available on Silver.com with special packaging and COA available.

Coin Highlights:

  • Arrives in a Star Wars-themed black case with a Certificate of Authenticity included.
  • Total mintage capped at just 10,000 coins for this release!
  • Fourth coin in the Star Wars Silver Classic Collection!
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of .999 fine silver.
  • Bears a face value of $2 (NZD) backed by the government of Niue.
  • Obverse features Queen Elizabeth II.
  • Reverse bears the design of R2-D2.

The Star Wars franchise launched in 1977 with the release of Star Wars: A New Hope. That film introduced millions to a cast of characters that included two droids, mechanical robots that assisted in the life of humans throughout the galaxy.

Among the many droids featured throughout the films, R2-D2 and his human-like companion C-3PO were the major droids that fans came to know by name. While C-3PO had command of various languages and conversed with humans in English, R2-D2 communicated solely through a series of beeps and squeaks.

On the reverse of all 2016 1 oz Silver Niue Star Wars R2D2 Coins is the image of Artoo when he first appears in the films. Luke Skywalker and his uncle Owen Lars purchase the droid, seen to have little value at the time, from a group of Jawas.

The obverse of all the coins includes the familiar right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Captured in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, it represents the fourth-generation image of Her Majesty since her 1952 coronation. Engravings include “Elizabeth II,” “Niue,” “Two Dollars,” and “2016.”

New Zealand Mint is located in Auckland, New Zealand and is the only private minting facility in the country. Despite its status, it does not have a part in the production of New Zealand dollars and other circulation currency. This job is handled by the Royal Canadian Mint and Royal Mint.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please feel welcome to call us toll free at 1(888) 989-7223 or use our Live Chat feature during normal business hours Monday through Friday, 08:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. CST. Alternatively, you can email us at help@silver.com and expect a response within 1 business day.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
