This is a rare Star Wars Weekends 2003 Bronze Coin one of only 500 of this limited edition ever made. Individual coins were no longer made after 2009. This coin has been double autographed. First by Star Wars Michonne Bourriague (Aurra Sing) and secondly by the Walt Disney design artist who created the logo and this coin for this 2003 event. THE STAR WARS WEEKENDS 2003 BRONZE COIN: Released the second week of the 5 week event on May 30th, 2003 and autographed the Jun 8th 2003. Its was sold out quickly as the edition size was just 500. Later year's edition sizes were 1000 or more until they no longer were produced after 2009. This bronze coin was the second to sell out at the event (first being the Nickel Silver coin released the prior weekend). That made this edition of this coin the one which most collectors want to have, and are probably missing in their collection now and in the future. These will stay in fans and collectors hands. CLASSIC 2003 LOGO : MICKEY & YODA LIGHTSABERS: This became one of the classic SWW logos. Disney design artist Randy Noble designed the logo on this coin and it is probably the most sought after. Its become arguably the most popular logo of all the SWW events. Its a now a Disney Star Wars classic with several later years incorporating Jedi Mickey and Yoda into other items and designs. The coin face has the classic logo with both Mickey and Yoda as Jedi's warming up their lightsabers and getting ready to fight evil together. If this bronze collector coin itself was not enough it has also been personally autographed TWICE! THE SECOND AUTOGRAPH: By Michonne Bourriague who plays Aurra Sing, also known as Nashtah, was once a female Jedi Padawan, but following a series of tragedies and misfortunes, she left the Jedi Order to become a vicious bounty hunter specializing in Jedi and political assassinations. She even became an associate in the posse of Cad Bane, a brief mentor of the orphaned Boba Fett, a commander for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, and later an Imperial Agent under the Sith Lord Darth Vader. THE SECOND AUTOGRAPH: is by none other than the Disney Design Artist who created this fantastic coin and also all the Star Wars Weekends official artwork from 200 through 2005 events, Senior Disney Design Artist, Mr. Randy Noble. You will also receive the above photo with Randy autographing the coin he designed.
