The latest Star Wars collectible coins features the
notorious ship piloted by Boba Fett, his Slave I
Starfighter.
A powerful pursuit craft made famous by Jango Fett
in the days of the Republic, this ship was inherited
by Boba Fett for his career as a bounty hunter. The
aged but effective ship was loaded with hidden
defensive and offensive weaponry and equipment,
and had a reputation earned from decades of
successfully capturing fugitives.
For those fleeing justice, Slave I’s distinctive
silhouette became a sight as feared as Fett’s
battered Mandalorian mask.
In The Mandalorian, Fett and his new partner
Fennec Shand flew Slave I to the planet Tython,
where they had tracked the Mandalorian Din Djarin
and his Force-sensitive foundling, Grogu. After
Djarin finished his mission, Fett rescued him, and
as Slave I was flying away from the scene it was
targeted by TIE fighters.
This moment is captured on the coins using relief
and frosting for contrast against the glass-like
background. Color has also been added to the
silver coin to make the Starfighter ‘pop’.
The coin comes with a Mint issued black coin and
a Star Wars themed box. The coin has a Certificate
of Authenticity confirming it as limited-edition made
from pure silver or gold. Altogether a magnificent
keepsake for any Star Wars or coin collector.
There will only be 2,000 of the coin available
worldwide!
