| Reverse description | The reverse features a lenticular optical element set within the coin's field, producing a shifting image effect that alternates between the Imperial crest of the Galactic Empire and the Death Star II superweapon, iconic imagery from the Star Wars franchise. The lenticular insert is framed within the plain heptagonal field, creating a striking contrast between the motion-picture licensed imagery and the coin's metallic ground. The copyright legend STAR WARS © & ™ Lucasfilm Ltd. appears in the field. The overall design is produced under license from Lucasfilm Ltd. as part of the Royal Mint's Star Wars collector series. |

| Additional information |
Issued under a licensing agreement between the Royal Mint and Lucasfilm, this is part of a broader Star Wars series that began in 2023 — the first time the Royal Mint struck officially circulating-specification commemorative coinage based on a commercial film franchise. The Death Star II specifically references the second superweapon from the original trilogy, destroyed in Return of the Jedi (1983). Colored reverses on cupro-nickel circulation-spec blanks are struck as collector pieces rather than intended for general circulation, though they retain full legal tender status under UK law.
