The 2017 1oz Silver Star Wars Bullion Coin — Darth Vader I is the opening release in the officially licensed Niue Star Wars bullion series produced by New Zealand Mint. Struck in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver to Brilliant Uncirculated quality, it presents Darth Vader against Imperial imagery and carries a published mintage of 250,000. As the launch coin for the bullion programme and the first Vader design, it has strong collector significance beyond its silver content.
