2023 Star Wars Darth Vader & Emperor Palpatine 50p Silver Proof Colour Coin – Royal Mint | COA 03762

2023 Star Wars Darth Vader & Emperor Palpatine – 50p Colour Silver Proof | The Royal Mint

Enter the Dark Side with a striking, officially licensed sterling silver proof 50p from The Royal Mint.

Issued in 2023 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, this special edition depicts two of cinema's most memorable villains: Darth Vader, wielding his glowing red lightsaber, and Emperor Palpatine behind him. Selective colour brings the characters to life against intricate engraved Star Wars imagery.

The design also includes a distinctive lenticular feature featuring the Death Star and the Galactic Empire insignia. The obverse carries the Martin Jennings portrait of King Charles III.

This is the 8g .925 sterling silver colour proof coin – not the standard base-metal Brilliant Uncirculated version – and comes with its original Royal Mint presentation.
