The Design:
The reverse design combines colour and engraving for a truly unique tribute to the 30th anniversary of Star TrekTM: The Next Generation. The field includes an outstanding amount of detailed engraving that provides a rare close-up for Star TrekTM fans: it’s the exterior of a Borg cube vessel, whose ominous appearance strikes fear in the hearts of characters and viewers alike. Against this engraved background, a colourful depiction of a tension-filled scene finds a Borg cube locking onto the U.S.S. Enterprise with its green tractor beam, as part of their relentless pursuit to assimilate technology, worlds and even beings. The reverse also includes the words “ Star TrekTM/MC”, “CANADA” and the year “2017”, all engraved in the iconic Star TrekTM font.
