| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two iconic characters from the Star Wars franchise in high-relief sculptural style: Luke Skywalker, shown in three-quarter view to the left foreground, dressed in his characteristic Jedi tunic and holding a lightsaber diagonally across his body; and Princess Leia, shown standing to the right in her distinctive white robes with her hair arranged in the well-known side bun coiffure. The background field features an incuse line-engraved interior corridor scene evoking the aesthetic of the original Star Wars films, including a circular vent, piping, and doorways. The bold STAR WARS logotype in the franchise's recognisable lettering style appears in the lower portion of the field, with the copyright legend © & ™ Lucasfilm Ltd. inscribed vertically along the lower right inner edge. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Mint's licensed Star Wars series issued under an agreement with Disney, this coin belongs to a run that began in 2023 marking the franchise's 45th anniversary. The choice of a 50 pence denomination is purely nominal — gold proof issues in this format are collector instruments priced well above face value, bearing legal tender status under the Coinage Act 1971 largely as a technical formality.
Mintage figures for gold proofs in this series were tightly restricted, typically in the low hundreds.
