History and design
This is a collector version of the 50 Pence - Charles III X-Wing. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
The X-Wing 50p is the third of four 2024 coins in the Royal Mint's Star Wars vehicles series, after the Millennium Falcon and the TIE Fighter and before the Death Star II. When the Mint launched the series on 18 March 2024 it said the vehicles were appearing on official UK coins for the first time. The coins are licensed products made in collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm.
The Mint describes the X-Wing as the signature starfighter of the Rebel Alliance and the crown jewel of its fleet, shown as it appears in the original film trilogy.
This is a collector coin. The Royal Mint's circulating mintage figures list no commemorative 50p dated 2024, and the series was launched as collectable coins sold through the Mint's website. No mintage has been published for the standard base metal coin.
The Mint credits the reverse to Lucasfilm Ltd., using imagery from Lucasfilm's official image library. It shows the X-Wing in flight with its S-foils open in a saltire, the familiar X shape. The proclamation gives the design as a depiction of an X-Wing with the inscription STAR WARS.
A lenticular feature on the reverse changes as the coin is tilted. On this coin the Mint says it displays the crest of the Rebel Alliance and the outline of the X-Wing, where the TIE Fighter coin shows the Galactic Empire insignia.
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.
