Was the TIE Fighter 50p released into circulation?
No circulating issue is recorded. The Royal Mint's circulating mintage figures list no commemorative 50p dated 2024, and the Mint presented its Star Wars coins as collectable coins sold through its website. A TIE Fighter 50p found in change has been spent by a previous owner.
How many TIE Fighter 50p coins were made?
The Royal Mint has published no figure for the standard Brilliant Uncirculated coin. Its product pages give maximum coin mintages of 20,010 for the colour Brilliant Uncirculated coin, 7,510 for the colour silver proof and 110 for the gold proof. These are limits, not sales figures.
Who designed the TIE Fighter 50p?
The Royal Mint credits the reverse to Lucasfilm Ltd. and says the artwork is based on imagery from Lucasfilm's official library, produced in collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm. No individual designer is named. The King's portrait on the obverse is by Martin Jennings.
What is the changing image on the TIE Fighter 50p?
It is a lenticular feature, a small panel on the reverse that shows a different symbol as the coin is tilted in the light. On this coin the Royal Mint says it displays the insignia of the Galactic Empire and the outline of a TIE Fighter.
Which coins are in the Star Wars vehicles series?
Four 50p coins dated 2024: the Millennium Falcon, the TIE Fighter, the X-Wing and the Death Star II. The Royal Mint describes the TIE Fighter as the second of the four releases. The series followed the four character-pair coins that began in 2023.

History and design
The TIE Fighter 50p is the second of four 2024 coins in the Royal Mint's Star Wars vehicles series. The Millennium Falcon opened the series on 18 March 2024, and the Mint announced then that a TIE Fighter, an X-Wing and the Death Star II would follow during the year. The series came after four coins showing pairs of characters, which began in 2023.
The coins are licensed products made in collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm. The Mint calls the TIE Fighter the trademark starfighter of the Galactic Empire.
This is a collector coin. The Royal Mint's circulating mintage figures list no commemorative 50p dated 2024, and the Mint launched the series as collectable coins sold through its website. No mintage has been published for the standard base metal coin.
The Mint credits the reverse to Lucasfilm Ltd. and says the artwork is based on imagery from Lucasfilm's official library. It describes a detailed depiction of a TIE Fighter as it appears in the films, from the shape of the wings to the pattern of the central cockpit window. The proclamation gives the design as a depiction of a TIE Fighter with the inscription STAR WARS.
The reverse also has a lenticular feature, a panel that changes as the coin is tilted in the light. Here it shows the insignia of the Galactic Empire and the outline of a TIE Fighter. The Mint says a picosecond laser was used to put the designs onto the coin-making tools.
The obverse carries Martin Jennings's portrait of King Charles III with the inscription CHARLES III D G REX F D 50 PENCE and the date 2024. The edge is plain.
Collecting notes
No recognised varieties or mint errors are documented for this coin.
The standard coin was sold by the Mint as a Brilliant Uncirculated coin, and the four coins of the series could be bought together by subscription. Because it was not issued for circulation, examples normally survive in Mint packaging. On a loose coin, check the lenticular panel closely for scratches and handling marks.
A colour-printed Brilliant Uncirculated version was sold only by the Mint, with a maximum coin mintage of 20,010. The precious-metal 50p versions share the design and the lenticular feature: the Mint's pages give maximum mintages of 7,510 for the colour silver proof and 110 for the gold proof.
The series opened with the Millennium Falcon 50p and continued with the X-Wing 50p.
