35g .999 Fine Silver

New Zealand Mint Replica Image of the 1977 Star Wars Comic Book Cover #1

This first striking foil features the Star Wars #1cover from April 1977, commemorating the first issue of the Star Wars series of comic books. The replica design is based on Howard Chaykin’s original Star Wars convention poster, which became one of the most valuable posters in the Star Wars collecting world.

This vibrant 35g fine silver collectible incorporates both colour and engraving, and features Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Princess Leia and Han Solo, Darth Vader, the Death Star, X-Wing, Y-Wing and TIE-Fighters in the background. Interestingly some of the colours used on the original poster were incorrect, with Darth Vader in green and Luke and Obi-Wan’s Lightsabers coloured red!

The obverse of the foil features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and it is legal tender in Niue.
