Beloved by countless Canadians, the original television series Star Trek has arguably helped shape the everyday lives of Canadians through its spirit of scientific innovation and discovery. The Royal Canadian Mint celebrates the 50th anniversary of the sci-fi phenomenon with a fine silver coin featuring the most iconic spaceship of our time: the U.S.S. Enterprise.

The Design:

The reverse design features an iconic depiction of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701) in space. Detailed engraving showcases the distinctive appearance of the Enterprise, from the rounded edges of her saucer-shaped hull to the twin warp nacelles at the rear. The image captures a tension-filled scene in which the Enterprise fires from its forward phaser bank towards an enemy threat that lies beyond the image field. Engraved to the right of the ship is a special Delta Shield Insignia that celebrates the 50 anniversary of the original Star Trek television series (1966-1969).
