Star Wars coin identification please
Any ideas? On the back says “Made in the USA” but has some French there as well.

Hi Cecil,

It looks recent as in no older than 2005 (Revenge of the Sith) - could be from "The Force Awakens" but I don't recognize it. With both French and English it's of course tempting to say it's Canadian but it could have been made for distribution in the US and Canada. What are the French words or abbreviations? I can help with that if Google is giving you gibberish.

Hi Cecil, I'm sure that you've probably already seen this, but it's the only mention of the coin that I could find online:

Good luck!

No, I hadn't seen this post. Too bad there's no info though. The date is 1997 and I have 3 different. Darth Vader 1000- Deathstar on back, Princess Leia 10000- R2D2 Alderaan on back, Chewbacca 50- Kashyyyk on back.

This is the back of the card that was in the cellophane wrapper- the only mention of the French language.

Found this online:

1997 Spanish Nestle Estrellitas Star Wars 3 Coin Medallion Sealed Rare Set $349.00

Same coins, same backing card but a Spanish premium?
