How can I get a Star Wars coin?
The Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia 2023 50p coin is available in various editions, including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, and Brilliant Uncirculated versions. The collection also includes special colour-printed editions.
It should be noted, however, that the coin is not going to be entered into general circulation, so you're not likely to find an example in your change.
Instead you will need to buy the coins directly from The Royal Mint, from a coin dealer, or from a seller on sites such as ebay.
