STORY
Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted in 1987, and ran for seven seasons until 1994. Set in the Milky Way Galaxy, the first season takes place in 2364, featuring a new crew and a new starship, U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D.
Since its debut, Star Trek has developed into a cultural phenomenon with a range of spinoff television series and a number of feature films being released over the past five decades. The series explored a variety of societal themes and issues including a Utopian society, war and peace, imperialism, economics, racial equality, religion, human rights, feminism, and the role of technology.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver, both coins are issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of the 2015 Star Trek – Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1oz Silver Proof Coin; 5,000 of the 2015 Star Trek – U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701D 1oz Silver Proof Coin and 1,500 of the Two-Coin Sets.
DESIGN
The Captain Jean-Luc Picard coin’s reverse portrays a colour image of Sir Patrick Stewart OBE as Captain Jean-Luc Picard as he appeared in the television series Star Trek, against a representation of the U.S.S. Enterprise and the inscription CAPTAIN JEAN-LUC PICARD. The design also includes The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark, and the coin’s weight and fineness.
The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D coin’s reverse portrays a colour image of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D flying through space as it appeared in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. The design includes the inscription STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION U.S.S. ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-D, The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark, and the coin’s weight and fineness.
PACKAGING
The two-coin set is packaged in a case designed to look like a Star Trek Transporter. The Captain Picard coin sits inside and when the ‘door’ of the Transporter is opened, a light comes on so that the Captain appears to be teleporting. The Enterprise coin sits on top of the case in its own compartment which also lights up. Each coin and set is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
