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).
Nostalgia with a contemporary design: Detailed engraving brings to life a timeless scene from the television classic, while the Star Trek font adds another visual element and a vintage feel.
