Stellar new coins celebrate 50 years of Star Trek
Posted by Blog Team on
The brightest Star Trek commemorative coin program in the universe now has two new spectacular coloured additions to mark the sci-fi classic’s 50th anniversary.
The first coin features portraits of actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy in their definitive roles as Kirk and Spock in Star Trek: The Original Series, which debuted on U.S. television on 8 September 1966. Holding a communicator and tricorder – quintessential Star Trek gadgetry – they appear on a dramatic backdrop of stars, planets and 23rd century space craft technology.
Its companion release depicts the illustrious U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, arguably the most celebrated space-exploration vessel in the history of sci-fi. Famous for its unique capabilities and equipment, including warp-drive, deflector shield and transporter to ‘dematerialise’ human passengers before beaming them to a new location in space, the cherished craft was integral to every episode.
Extremely Limited Collectables
No more than 1,500 2016 1oz Silver Proof Two-Coin Sets will be released in ‘transporter’ packaging featuring a ring of iridescent blue light around each coin.
An additional 5,000 individual 2016 Kirk and Spock 1oz Silver Proof Coins are also available in presentation packaging featuring a similar lighting effect.
