From Gul Dukat’s machinations to the Dominion War, Star Trek: Deep Space NineTM set itself apart with season-spanning story arcs and character-driven plots that resonated with Canadian fans. The sci-fi series’ eponymous space station gives shape to this 25th anniversary celebration, which mixes colour and engraving to provide an out-of-this-world view of the series’ galactic setting.
SPECIAL FEATURES
DESIGN
Within the coin’s uniquely shaped contour, the reverse design features a highly detailed, engraved 4rendering of the space station from Star Trek: Deep Space NineTM. Officially classified by Starfleet as a “hybrid planar-columnar tri-radial structure,” Deep Space 9’s shape is defined in part by an outer docking ring that lines the coin’s edge, which is punctuated by 12 docking ports and a series of thrusters. Another defining feature, the towering docking pylons extend towards an inner habitat ring, which is linked to a spherical-shaped central core. The station’s placement allows for a largely unobstructed view of the full-colour image that fills the field, where the Bajoran wormhole (top left) adds a bright swirl of colour to the snapshot of the Bajoran system. A different view of the series’ galactic locale is featured on the obverse, where a fine colour outline augments the engraved legend. The space station is also engraved on the obverse, where it frames the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
