The Millennium Falcon is nothing pretty to look at in feature films. Throughout the franchise, the ship is more-or-less referenced as a worn-out hunk of junk. Han Solo and Chewbacca are regularly forced to make often-hasty repairs to the ship just to get out of a jam. The fictitious starship is a YT-1300 Corellian light freighter that Solo primarily uses throughout his career as a smuggling ship. When he becomes intertwined with the Rebel Alliance in its cause for freedom from the Galactic Empire, the shabby ship with humble origins plays its part in ensuring victory for the freedom fighters.

On the obverse side of 2021 Silver Millennium Falcons is a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the fourth-generation bust of Her Majesty from British coins and is a design that featured on many Commonwealth nations in the Pacific as the fifth-generation portrait. In this design from Ian Rank-Broadley, the Queen is shown in right-profile relief with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. Broadley developed this popular portrait in 1998.
The reverse face of 2021 1 oz Silver Niue Star Wars Millennium Falcons comes with a depiction of the namesake ship. The Falcon is shown here gliding effortlessly through space with the Rebel Alliance logo as the backdrop behind it.
