This majestic Star Wars collectible is placed inside a specially designed case moulded to the coin’s shape, for protection. As legal tender, the Ian Rank Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is found on the obverse of the coin.
A Certificate of Authenticity is printed on the box along with confirmation of the coin’s unique number in the limited mintage of only 2,000. The box includes a large window, so the coin can be easily displayed, and is printed with more images of Queen Amidala.
Officially licensed by Lucasfilm Ltd, this fabulous coin for the hopeful and courageous leader, and mother to Luke and Leia, is bound to be sought after.
