2016 Star Trek Coin and Stamp Set
Shipping: $9.99
Product Overview
This colour-enhanced large-format 25-cent coin-and-stamp set celebrates the 50th anniversary of the television series Star Trek and pays tribute to one of the most iconic spaceships in science fiction: the U.S.S. Enterprise. The coloured 25-cent coin and three collectible stamps by Canada Post are all presented in commemorative packaging.
The 35-mm coin design features six different views of the U.S.S. Enterprise in vibrant colour: overhead, underside, bow, aft, starboard and portside. The dark background of this coin gives the viewer a sense of outer space, while the rich blue recreates a nebula cloud. The cover stamp design features a portrait of Captain James Tiberius Kirk in the gold uniform of Starfleet's command division. The background has the U.S.S. Enterprise in orbit over a red planet.
Inside the custom packaging are two other stamps that feature classic starship nemeses from the television series: the U.S.S. Enterprise and a D7-class battle cruiser from the Klingon Imperial Fleet. The Enterprise, on its five year mission of exploration and discovery, is positioned to allow the viewer a glimpse of the twin warp nacelles, and the saucer-shaped hull proudly displaying the registration number NCC-1701. The second stamp depicts the D7-class battle cruiser, with its bulbous command pod jutting out from the spread wing hull, along with the ship's iconic long neck, giving it an ominous and aggressive appearance.
