2023 Star Wars R2-D2 & C-3PO 50p Silver Proof Colour Coin – Royal Mint | COA 02889

2023 Star Wars R2-D2 & C-3PO – UK 50p Colour Silver Proof | Royal Mint

One of cinema’s most recognisable duos, immortalised in sterling silver by The Royal Mint.

Released in 2023 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, this official UK 50p silver proof coin features R2-D2 and C-3PO in vibrant colour against the detailed interior of the Millennium Falcon. A special lenticular feature appears above the characters, and the design includes the Star Wars logo.

This is the sterling silver colour proof edition—not the base-metal Brilliant Uncirculated coin. The obverse bears the portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
