Forty years ago on May 25, 1977, Star Wars thundered onto the big screen and became a new force in pop culture. This fine silver rectangular coin features a replica image of the iconic original 1977 Star Wars poster in full colour.

With its ground-breaking special effects, the film leaped off screens and immersed audiences in “a galaxy far, far away….” The story follows Luke Skywalker, thrust into the struggle of the Rebel Alliance after meeting Obi-Wan Kenobi. Together they enlist a team of unlikely allies on a daring mission to rescue the beautiful Rebel leader Princess Leia from the clutches of the evil Empire.
