With Star Wars now appearing at the Royal Mint as well, it’s clear the franchise remains as popular as ever in the collectible coin market, despite its decline amongst moviegoers. It’s hardly surprising, given the Star Wars Universe has been quite active for around 45 years now, and continues to be so, especially in television.

Possibly the most popular of the current shows is The Mandalorian, and the most popular character in that is Grogu, previously known as ‘The Child’, or Baby Yoda. Never one to miss a merchandising opportunity, Grogu has appeared everywhere, and on everything, including plenty of coins. This shaped coin is pretty cool, but it’s also a variant of a design released last year, so hardly original.

This one-ounce coloured silver coin depicts Grogu in his pod, and does it with a little more detail than the 2022 original. That issue sold out quickly, so the reasoning behind the 2023 release is to give the fans another opportunity to pick up this neat design. Packaging is very well done, as always, and the coin has a mintage of 5,000 pieces. It’s available now, and can be purchased at the affiliate link below.
