TheStar Warsuniverse is about more than flashy effects, laser beams and action. It also has surprisingly complex insights to offer about the nature of evil, particularly in the “prequel” trilogy that tells the tale of a Galactic Empire’s sabotage of democracy and rise to power. An important part of that story is the creation of false conflicts and the building of a new kind of army supposedly meant to secure peace, but really meant to expand one man’s power. These were the clone troopers, who in the early stages of the Clone Wars wore the helmet design featured on the 2022 Niue The Faces of the Empire Clone Trooper Phase 1 Shaped 1 oz Silver Coin.

Obverse

The coin’s obverse side features an official effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This is surrounded by the inscriptions “Elizabeth II,” “Niue,” “Two Dollars,” and “2022,” and accompanied by the copyright and trademark of Lucasfilm as well as confirmation of the coin’s silver content.

Reverse

The Galactic Republic’s troops in the early Clone Wars wore the Phase One helmet design that comprises this coin’s reverse side. The helmet echoes the Mandalorian armor of the clones’ progenitor, Jango Fett, as well as the cold visage of the Imperial Stormtroopers yet to come.

History

When George Lucas launched the prequels to his iconic original trilogy ofStar Warsfilms, he wanted to do more than just recapture the kid-friendly magic of the galaxy far, far away. He also wanted to use that setting to unfold a complicated and tragic tale of great heroes undermined by scheming, betrayal, and deceit on a massive scale. At the heart of that story was the private army of a soon-to-be Emperor: the clones for whom the Clone Wars were named.
