This premium, limited edition commemorative note has been created with the technological and design expertise of the UK's De La Rue, who design and produce currency for over two-thirds of the world's countries. Only 50 premium notes were made, all measuring 149mm (w) x 80mm (h) in size and only 1 (this one) is signed by Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker). The signature is featured on the acrylic block holding the note.

The note was crafted with 100% cotton cylinder mould paper (manufactured at the De La Rue Overton Paper Mill) and securitised and printed in the high-security proofing department based in Hampshire.

The note incorporates special features including:

  • Intaglio hand engraving of Rey Unique serial numbers with Saga significance

  • A message in Aurebesh, one of the languages of the Galaxy
  • The signature of Director/Writer Rian Johnson

The note is presented in a clear acrylic block; and packaged, along with a professional-grade eyeglass and UV light so that you can see the hidden artwork in great detail, in a Star Wars™: The Last Jedi branded card stock box and encased in foam. It is accompanied by an insert describing the note's features and background; and a letter of authenticity issued by De La Rue.
