New Star Wars coins have been unveiled by the Royal Mint, with the latest collection including the Millennium Falcon and Death Star.
The famous sci-fi ship may be coming to a wallet or purse near you as it lands on a 50p coin.
It follows on from the initial success of the first Star Wars coin series, with the new one dedicated to the franchise’s vehicles.
The first series of coins featured some of Star Wars’ most famous characters, including Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
The Millennium Falcon, the TIE Fighter, X-Wing, and Death Star II will all make it onto the new coins launching this week.
Alongside newly minted coins, there will be bullion bars in the latest collection.
Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: “We are delighted to celebrate the Star Wars franchise’s numismatic return with a series of coins dedicated to its iconic vehicles.
“We are excited to enthuse new and existing coin collectors across the world and capture the imaginations of Star Wars’ thriving fan base.”
The Millennium Falcon coin will be available to purchase on Monday 18 March along with the other three coins.
Meanwhile, the Royal Mint bullion bars will be available in gold and silver and feature Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo.
