R2D2 C3PO Star Wars 50p Royal Mint 2023 Coloured Decal BU Coin 1 Display

The Star Wars™ Collection finally lands at The UK Mint with the first in a collection of coins dedicated to the most iconic duos of the ‘Skywalker Saga’.

It has been almost half a century since the world got its first glimpse of the Star Wars universe with the release of Star Wars: A New Hope™ in 1977. Now, for the first time, the iconic characters of the original Star Wars trilogy will feature on official UK coins as part of a brand-new, four-coin collection dedicated to some of the most legendary partnerships from the series.

The designs will include the droid duo of R2-D2™ and C-3PO™, the evil Sith pairing of Darth Vader™ and Emperor Palpatine™, heroic siblings Luke Skywalker™ and Princess Leia™, and lovable rogues Han Solo™ and Chewbacca™.

The coin is supplied in a coin capsule with black foam surround.
