| Additional information |
Cook Islands has operated a substantial commemorative licensing program for decades, issuing legal tender coins under agreements that have at times made the territory one of the more prolific novelty issuers in the Pacific. This Star Wars piece falls squarely in that commercial vein — produced for the collector market with no expectation of circulation.
Disney acquired Lucasfilm in October 2012 for approximately $4 billion, after which licensed merchandise output — including numismatic products — expanded considerably across multiple issuing authorities worldwide.
