• A CELEBRATION OF A CLASSIC CREW-- The Star Trek: Crew collection, which fully launched in 2016, celebrates the most iconic members of the U.S.S. Enterprise—the actors who first portrayed the roles when the series launched in 1966. The Uhura coin is the third in the series and features a full-color image of Nichelle Nichols holding her tricorder as she gazes out from the coin’s reverse. A large communicator is also depicted on the coin, which now looks a bit outdated but at the time represented cutting edge science fiction. The reverse of the coin is inscribed with "10 DOLLARS," "CANADA 2016," and the trademark inscription "TM/MC & © 2016 CBS." The coin’s obverse features Susanna Blunt’s depiction of the bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, along with the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II" and "DG REGINA." The full inscription stands for "Queen Elizabeth, By the Grace of God."
• PROOF BRILLIANCE AND UNIQUE PACKAGING-- Your Uhura coin is packaged in a colorful presentation box that depicts Uhura alongside the Star Trek 50th anniversary logo. In addition, your coin is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, verifying that it is a Proof coin—specially made with sharp detail and a brilliant mirror-like surface.
• GENUINE LEGAL TENDER -- The Uhura coin, like all the coins in the Star Trek: Crew series, is genuine legal tender of $10 Canadian.
