2015 Star Trek: The Next Generation Captain Jean-Luc Picard and U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D 1oz Silver Proof Two Coin Set

Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted in 1987, and ran for seven seasons until 1994. Set in the Milky Way Galaxy, the first season takes place in 2364, featuring a new crew and a new starship, U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D.

Since its debut, Star Trek has developed into a cultural phenomenon with a range of spinoff television series and a number of feature films being released over the past five decades. The series explored a variety of societal themes and issues including a Utopian society, war and peace, imperialism, economics, racial equality, religion, human rights, feminism, and the role of technology.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 1,500 of the 2015 Star Trek: The Next Generation – Captain Jean-Luc Picard and U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D 1oz Silver Two-Coin Sets.

The Two-Coin Set is packaged in a case designed to look like a Star Trek Transporter. The Captain Jean-Luc Picard coin sits inside and when the ‘door’ of the Transporter is opened, a light comes on so that the Captain appears to be teleporting. The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D coin sits on top of the case in its own compartment which also lights up.

Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
