This beautiful, colourized proof like coin has vibrant colours, a highly polished appearance and comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity. The mintage, including the two coin sets, is limited to only 6,500 coins worldwide meaning that this is sure to become a prized coin for both numismatic collectors and Star Trek fans.

Star Trek, the original series, debuted in 1966 and only ran for three seasons. The series broke new ground at the time, and explored many different social issues at a time when young people were beginning to questions many of the values held by older generations.

The obverse of the coin features the Ian Rank Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the words "Queen Elizabeth II 1 Dollar Tuvalu 2015" and the artist's initials.

The reverse of the coin features actor William Shatner, in the role of Captain James T. Kirk. Kirk is seated in his chair on the bridge, with his chin pensively resting on his hand. Kirk's trademark smirk is spread across his face, leaving us to wonder if he is contemplating the destruction of an enemy's ship or fondly remembering his latest conquest.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
