They also made a commemorative coin for Star Wars ... featuring the [TIE Fighter](https://www.royalmint.com/star-wars/vehicles/tie-fighter/star-wars-tie-fighter-2024-1oz-gold-proof-coin/) and the [Death Star](https://www.royalmint.com/star-wars/vehicles/death-star-ll/star-wars-death-star-ii-2024-1oz-gold-proof-coin/). You know, the villains?

Well, consider this: the last time they minted a £2 coin for a British author was J.R.R. Tolkien in 2023. Those are now worth around $50, meaning a 96% appreciation in a year. These are also uncirculated coins from the actual UK mint, meaning their value is that much higher than those circulated to the public.
