This 2018 glow in the dark $10 fine silver coin pays tribute to Star Trek – Enterprise MX-01. 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: Enterprise NX-01 from Star Trek: Enterprise (2001-2005).
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:
With its mix of colour and engraving, the reverse celebrates Star Trek’s spirit and its vision of space travel in the future. The titular starship from Star Trek: Enterprise is set against a colourful, glow-in-the-dark nebula that infuses the scene with energy and motion. While an overhead view of the Enterprise NX-01 allows for a glimpse of its warp nacelles, the saucer hull is more prominently featured—including the navigational deflector along its front edge. This deflector is a predecessor to the two incorporated in the engraved 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.
