The Wookie Chewbacca, known to his friends as Chewie, worked as a smuggler alongside Han Solo until they helped Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker rescue the captured Princess Leia Organa and joined the rebellion against the Empire.

This 50 Galactic Credits souvenir note is dedicated to Chewbacca. The note is part of the Star Wars Series, which comprises a total of eight notes and is an official collection of the Walt Disney Company. It is made from genuine banknote paper and has a watermark and UV design as security features. While the obverse is vertically oriented, the reverse is horizontal. In addition to the main motif, the Star Wars logo is applied to the obverse as a gold foil patch. The folding card, designed exclusively for the note, provides interesting background information about Chewie.
