The ubiquitous droids, which means a variety of robots of all shapes, sizes and destinations are among the most characteristic features of the Star Wars movie saga. One of them has already introduced himself on silver coins, and now comes a row on his loyal friend, C-3PO.

The role of so-called protocol droids is the perfect knowledge of the various languages ​​and habits used across the galaxies. Their services are mainly used in negotiations whether they are diplomatic rounds at the galactic senate, or bargaining for unfair trades on the outer darkened planets. A humanoid robot named C-3PO, built by Anakin Skywalker in his childhood to help his mother, knows more than six million forms of communication. Who would have thought the existence of such a protocol droid would be boring, he would have mistaken. Because even despite its timid nature, C-3PO played a crucial role in clone wars and the subsequent galactic rebellion. But he was not alone. Along his side, there is always faithful R2-D2, whose beeps are translated by C-3PO to others in comprehensible speech.

The reverse side of the coin is devoted to one of the first shots of the fourth film episode called New Hope, depicting the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 on board of diplomatic ship under fire of the Imperial Cruiser. The obverse side of the coin then belongs to the profile and name of Emperor Elizabeth II, the year of the issue 2017 and nominal value of TWO DOLLARS (NZD), which are the essential requirements of the coin issuer, which is the island of Niue. Officially licensed coin was made by the design team of the New Zealand Mint.

The coin is stored in a thematic wooden etui with a magnetic mechanism that will allow it to be exposed effectively.
