Slave I:
Slave I was a modified prototype Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft used by famed Mandalorian bounty hunters Jango Fett and his cloned son, Boba Fett. It was greatly modified with advanced weapons systems by both Fetts during their respective use.
Originating from Oovo IV, the ship was stolen by Jango Fett, replacing his previous ship, "Jaster's Legacy". After Jango's death on Geonosis in 22 BBY, the ship was inherited by Boba Fett and used on several missions during and after the Clone Wars. It was subsequently replaced by the Slave II, Slave III, and Slave IV.
The Coin:
A new 1oz pure Silver Star Wars Coin shows the anxious moment in "The Mandalorian" when bounty hunter Boba Fett™ escapes from TIE Fighters in his Starfighter - "Slave I".
The use of relief in the design ensures that the ships are brought to life against a glass-like finish on the background. Colour has been added to the Starfighter to make it ‘pop’ out.
The Reverse of the $2 (Two Dollars) Silver Coin features Boba Fett's Starfighter "Slave I". The inscriptions are - "BOBA FETT'S STARFIGHTER" on the lower periphery. On the centre periphery is the metal content of the Coin - "1 Oz. .999 Pure Silver".
