It’s been 27 years since the 501st Legion first marched, and to commemorate this stellar achievement, R2-KT are making the 25th anniversary coin available once again in black, gold and orignial styles. It’s Albin Johnsons personal banner that has 25 streaking stars to mark every one of those 25 years.
This is my personal banner, the Legion Founder’s insignia, with 25 stars streaking to the heavens to mark every year we’ve rocked conventions, hospitals, charities, books, comics, streaming series, and the movies to hoist Vader’s colors high. But this time there are two new finishes:
Black Series: stained glass bound in black nickel finish
Gold Series: stained glass bound in gold-colored metal finish
Original Series: (In addition, we are doing a small run of the original stained glass coin in plain nickel finish for those who may have missed out on the two runs from last year.)
Many people have asked for these long after we sold out. So hopefully this will give folks a beautiful memento to signify their years of service. And if we can help Make-A-Wish, then all the better!

* https://www.r2kt.com/vaders-fist/The stained glass coin is a proud memento of your time in the Empire and the legacy we’ve built, as well as a gorgeous decorative work of art. It represents everything I hoped for when I founded the club in 1997. But what you’ve done has exceeded my wildest imagination. I am so proud of you all.
Never forget what we’ve accomplished. Thank you and Long Live the Legion!
p.s. I’ve handed out dozens of these coins to Star Wars actors (as well as some from Star Trek, who looked a little jealous LOL). When Giancarlo Esposito (Moff Gideon) saw his, he said, “For the Empire” and that made it all worthwhile. Thanks for making Star Wars so cool!
