In 2023, we embarked on perhaps our most high-profile pop culture crossover to date as we looked to the Star Wars™ galaxy to provide inspiration for a new commemorative collection. The result brought together two impassioned worlds in a collision of numismatics and sci-fi cinema, as the realm of coin collecting met Star Wars.
The four-coin collection inspired by iconic duos from the original trilogy was a hit with both coin collectors and Star Wars fans alike, prompting follow-up releases dedicated to some of the most iconic vehicles in the franchise, from the Millennium Falcon and X-wing to the TIE fighter and Death Star II. Now, we expand the collection further with the introduction of a two-part collection comprising The Royal Mint’s first bullion bars inspired by Star Wars and its original trilogy, featuring designs dedicated to the heroic Jedi and the sinister Sith.
The perfect investment for fans of the Star Wars franchise, this unique collection of bullion minted bars provides the ideal avenue for fans to both admire and invest in this iconic brand. Each gold and silver edition holds not only the timeless allure of precious metal but has also been produced to our peerless standards.
Inspired by the unforgettable characters of the Skywalker Saga, each bar features an original design created with unmistakable imagery from Lucasfilm’s library. The first design in this two-part release features three legendary forces of good – Luke Skywalker™, Princess Leia™ and Han Solo™.
The reverse of the coin also includes a special lenticular feature that changes depending on the reflection of the light. Much like the other coins in the collection, this artwork alternates between two miniature icons representing imagery synonymous with the duo, in this case the legendary Millennium Falcon and the Rebel Alliance ‘Starbird’. Naturally, this coin wouldn’t be complete without the presence of the inimitable Star Wars logo, which takes pride of place at the base of the design.
The final release in our coin collection inspired by the iconic duos of the original Star Wars trilogy, the Han Solo and Chewbacca 2024 UK Coin is a must-have for any fan of the franchise, pop culture collector or sci-fi aficionado. Available as gold Proof and silver Proof editions, as well as a Brilliant Uncirculated edition and special colour-printed editions, you can add this coin to your collection today by clicking here for more details.
