Darth Vader became an iconic symbol of the Star Wars franchise from the first moment he appeared in the original film in 1977. More than that, though, he quickly became one of the all-time most recognizable of movie villains through an inspired combination of visual and sound design and memorably intimidating performances by the actors voicing him and capturing his intimidating physical presence. Wielding the terrifying power of the Dark Side of the Force, all of Vader’s on-screen appearances were riveting. That record remains largely intact to this day, celebrated by the New Zealand Mint with the 2022 Niue Star Wars Darth Vader 1 oz Silver Coin.
