First up we have a Five Captains coin, featuring the captains of the five live action TV series as printed section, clustered around a molded Starfleet delta. But there's more to this coin than meets the daylight eye, as it also glows in the dark, to reveal a completely different USS Enterprise design!
As ever Queen Elizabeth II is found on the other side, this time sitting among a tessellated field of maple leaves! The coin has a face value of thirty Canadian dollars, but is made from two ounces of silver, so will actually set you back just shy of two-hundred dollars!
It comes in a spacious display case, which parts down the center to reveal the coin. Five-thousand of this coin will be minted.
The second coin is called The Borg, and features a printed image of a Borg Cube chasing the Enterprise-D, sat among details of a Borg hull.
This coin has a face value of twenty Canadian dollars, but again is made from silver, one ounce this time, so will set you back a bit over a hundred dollars in reality.
This too comes in a bespoke display case, this one the latest example of a Borg Cube being used as packaging. Ten-thousand of this coin are being produced.
