Thanks to Taisei Coins Corporation, the Star Wars™ Coin Collection R2-D2™ coins were made available for purchase in Japan on Monday, Aug. 29!

Product Features
The world's favourite diminutive droid R2-D2™ has joined the official Star Wars™ coin collection, issued to celebrate the release of the seventh film in the Star Wars series, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The three R2-D2 coins added to the collection include a 1 oz gold coin, a ¼ oz gold coin, and a 1 oz silver coin. Each features R2-D2 as he appears in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope during the famous scene in which he's sold to Luke Skywalker and his uncle Owen Lars by Jawa traders. Both the gold and silver coins are incredibly high quality, struck from over 99.9% gold and silver respectively, and they also come with a presentation case engraved with the Star Wars™ logo and R2-D2™'s name. The 1 oz gold coin in particular is especially rare, as a mere 500 coins were issued. So don't miss this opportunity to snap up a piece of Star Wars history!
