Part of the Royal Mint's ongoing Star Wars licensing series, this piece falls within a wave of issues timed to coincide with the franchise's 2023 commemorative calendar. The Royal Mint has held licensing agreements with Disney — which acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 for $4.05 billion — for a range of pop-culture bullion and proof issues that have expanded aggressively since the mid-2010s.
Legal tender denomination notwithstanding, none of these pieces are intended for circulation. Mintage figures for individual designs in this series vary, but the Royal Mint typically caps licensed silver proofs in the low thousands.
