The Star Wars™ Silver Poster Coin Series by Agoro

In a galaxy not so far away, the Star Wars™ saga has captivated audiences for decades, weaving tales of heroism, adventure, and the eternal struggle between light and dark. Celebrating this rich legacy, Agoro, by New Zealand Mint, has embarked on an ambitious project: the Star Wars™ Silver Poster 3 Oz Silver Coin Series. This collection is inspired by the visionary artwork of renowned artist Eric Tan, whose dynamic and stylized posters have become iconic representations of the Star Wars™ universe.

Eric Tan: The Artist Behind the Vision

Eric Tan, a creative force at Disney Consumer Products, grew up in San Diego, immersing himself in Disney films, Marvel comics, and Star Wars action figures. His passion for these universes is evident in his work, particularly in his Star Wars poster series, which encapsulates the essence of each film through vibrant colors and dynamic compositions. Tan's unique style pays homage to the classic saga while infusing it with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic.

Agoro's decision to partner with an artist of Eric Tan’s caliber reflects their commitment to delivering not just collectible coins, but works of art that resonate with fans of all ages. Through partnerships like this, Agoro continues to redefine numismatics, blending creativity and storytelling with premium craftsmanship.

The Coin Series: A Trilogy of Trilogies

The Star Wars™ Silver Poster Coin Series is meticulously planned to encompass nine coins, each representing a film from the three trilogies: the Original, Prequel, and Sequel series. Each coin is crafted from 3 ounces of pure silver, measuring 100mm x 34.64mm, and features a proof finish with vibrant color applications that mirror Tan's original poster designs. The mintage for each coin is limited to just 800 pieces worldwide, enhancing their desirability among collectors.

Agoro’s efforts to incorporate these iconic designs into collectible coins showcase their dedication to bridging traditional numismatics with contemporary pop culture themes. Parthava Coin, as Agoro’s official distributor, proudly provides collectors worldwide access to these limited-edition masterpieces.
