Going boldly where no minting facility has gone before, the Perth Mint of Australia will soon offer two silver coins commemorating Star Trek: The Original Series. One of the coins features none other than Captain James T. Kirk. The other portrays his Constitution-class starship, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.
Captain James T. Kirk 2015 1oz Silver Proof Coin
Each officially licensed product is struck from one ounce of 99.9% pure silver to collector proof quality. Setting the stage for a sellout, mintage for the individual coins is limited to just 5,000 while a two-coin set of them is capped at only 1,500.
