Description
This 2018 glow in the dark $10 fine silver coin pays tribute to Star Trek – Voyager. Whether exploring new worlds or encountering unusual phenomena—including an occasional temporal rift—Star Trek’s iconic starships have transported millions of imaginations deep into “the final frontier”. This glow-in-the-dark coin is a collectible tribute to one of the most famous vessels in Starfleet history: the iconic vessel of the television series Star Trek: Voyager (1995-2001).The coin weighs just over half an ounce of pure silver, and has a limited mintage of 10,000. As a pure silver coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is HST/GST exempt.
The Design:
The reverse features a rich application of vibrant colour that captures the imaginative spirit behind Star Trek: Voyager and the entire Star Trek universe. The underside view of U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 highlights the more pointed shape of its saucer hull and the unusual angle of its warp nacelles in flight. While a multi-coloured, glow-in-the-dark nebula and a ringed planet provide an otherworldly backdrop, a blue glow draws the eyes towards the starship’s navigational deflector; its rounded shape is similar to the two that have been incorporated in the frame, which also bears the engraved words “STAR TREK” and “CANADA” in a Star Trek font. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
