| Reverse description | Central design depicts the iconic Star Wars droids R2-D2 and C-3PO set within an interior corridor scene, rendered in high relief with contrasting matte and proof finishes. R2-D2 appears to the left in the middle ground, while C-3PO dominates the right foreground in three-quarter view. A textured circular disc element occupies the upper centre of the field, evoking a holographic projection. The bold inscription STAR WARS appears in the lower portion of the field in the franchise's characteristic logotype lettering, with the copyright notice © & ™ Lucasfilm Ltd. inscribed along the lower right rim. |

| Additional information |
Issued under a licensing agreement between the Royal Mint and Lucasfilm, this piece is part of a broader Star Wars collaboration series that the Mint has expanded aggressively since the mid-2010s. The Royal Mint's bullion and commemorative program has leaned heavily into popular culture licenses in recent years — a commercial strategy that generates strong pre-sale demand but sits awkwardly in numismatic literature.
The KM# assignment reflects Krause's increasingly strained cataloging of non-traditional commemoratives, where fictional intellectual property now shares reference space with centuries of dynastic coinage.
