    Silver and two golds depicting Darth Vaders first appearance. Could be the Steamboat Willie of the new license. First coin out is better than the Star Trek coins so far for me, and I actually prefer Star Trek itself. http://agaunews.com/?p=21766

    NzMint website. I am sure talisman, FC coin and others will offer them as well. I hope they don't do this series they way they did with the Donald duck series (releasing them all within a few months). I have a feeling they would do that though.. releasing them all before the movie release date.

    Btw, what is the release date? I thought I saw you said today but when I re-read it, I couldn't see the release date

    It's due out today. It'll be up on the NZ Mint website when they wake up. It's the joys of timezones.

    There'll be an announcement in a couple of weeks on coins for the new movie.

    BTW, I've changed the images on site as we managed to get a more realistic set than the one above.

    not sure if its just the large coin photo above... but I do like his shiny underwear.
    ... I'm glad this is not a high-relief coin.

    on a serious note: I think this coin works better if it is a colored coin. It doesn't seem to have the usual "proof" finishing.

    The underwear look ugly and not porportionate.


    I have the first 3 series it look super. But I need to sell it because limited space in Singapore.

    NZ Mint official images are generally not the best and these were no exception. My Mrs has some coming and I'll post some images on site when they do.
