CAPTAIN PICARD AND THE ENTERPRISE EXPLORE THE MILKY WAY

Calling all Star Trek fans…

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.

As the second releases in a series, the Perth Mint is releasing two incredible 1-oz., 99.9% pure silver proof coins, featuring Captain Jean-Luc Picard & U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D. Both are issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu. These coins are available individually or as a two-coin set.

DESIGNS

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 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.

The Two-Coin Set is packaged in a case designed to look like a Star Trek Transporter. The Captain Jean-Luc 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 U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D coin sits on top of the case in its own compartment which also lights up.star trek coin pkg 2
