| Star Wars L'Expo Darth Vader Coin, 2006 | |
| In october 2005 opened the famous Star Wars exhibition in Paris,
France. For nearly a year, the exhibition was set in the "Cite des
sciences" a major cultural & scientific place of Paris. For this occasion, exclusive and officially licensed medallions were
produced by "Monnaie de Paris" (The French Mint) a state owned company
which holds the monopoly of manufacturing circulating coins for the
French Republic, showcase the history of French coins, produces
limited editions etc...
These medallions from Yoda and Darth Vader were available at the
opening until the end of the event; probably due to the huge success
of the event itself, a second batch was produced with a slight change
on the back.
The first batch of medallions had "National Collection - Limited Edition - Official Medallion - 2005" on the back.
Later medallion produced in 2006 have a more basic back with only the year "2006" left. |
