The character of Cassian Andor was an intriguing but largely enigmatic new addition to the Star Wars universe when he made his film debut inRogue One: A Star Wars Story.In that film, he appeared as a driven, almost ruthless Rebel spy willing to do nearly anything to accomplish the mission — although he eventually developed a degree of friendship and connection with his companions — but the story of what had created that driven agent remained to be told, and became the inspiration for the hit new streaming series calledAndor.This series follows the character in the five years prior to the film, and his journeys have already won a devoted fanbase celebrated by the 2022 Niue Chibi Star Wars Andor Shaped 1 oz Silver Coin.
Highlights:
The New Zealand Mint’s Chibi collectible series depicts characters from a host of media franchises with a sense of fun and whimsy, and the 2022 Niue Chibi Star Wars Andor Shaped Silver Coin is true to form. Each coin comes in a themed display box with a Certificate of Authenticity that gives its unique number in the limited mintage.
Obverse
The coin’s obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of the late Queen Elizabeth II, identifying it as legal tender of Niue. She is accompanied by the inscriptions “Queen Elizabeth II,” “Niue,” “2022” and “2 Dollars,” along with confirmation of the coin’s weight and silver content.
Reverse
Cassian Andor comprises the reverse side of the coin as a brightly colored Chibi sculpture. The “big head” Chibi caricature style showcases his soulful gaze, bearded countenance, and roguish attire.
History
The Star Wars franchise owes its longevity in part to a seemingly bottomless ability to populate its “galaxy far, far away” with fresh characters, both heroes and villains. The New Zealand Mint’s series of Star Wars collectibles is consistently popular because of its propensity for coming up with fresh and fun ways to commemorate those characters that will connect with fans and excite bullion collectors. Chibi coins are among the series’ signature elements, and you can tell a character has truly “arrived” in the franchise when they merit the Chibi coin treatment. Cassian Andor is one of the newest additions to those ranks.
