Gold Quarter Ounce 2023 Star Wars - C-3PO and R2-D2, Coin from United Kingdom - detailed information

The obverse of the coin displays the first definitive portrait of King Charles III, which shows his bare (uncrowned) head facing left.

Below the neck truncation in tiny letters, the artist's initials MJ (for Martin Jennings).

Around, the monarch's legend followed by the face value and date of issue: CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 25 POUNDS · 2023 ·. Translated from Latin, the legend means: Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.

The reverse of the coin depicts C-3PO and R2-D2 - two robots which play a prominent role in the Star Wars movies. They are seen in the Millennium Falcon, the spaceship of smuggler Han Solo.

Above, a circular decoration which is static, instead of the latent image which features on the other denominations in the series.

Below, the STAR WARS logo.
