Royal Mint to release new Star Trek coins to celebrate show’s 60th anniversary

The Royal Mint is launching a special edition of 50p coins to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Star Trek television series. Two distinct designs have been announced, featuring vibrant colors inspired by the show's iconic costumes and advancements in color television during the 1960s. One coin includes the Vulcan salute and the phrase 'Live long and prosper,' while the other highlights four spacecraft representing different eras of the franchise. Both coins are intended for collectors and will be available for purchase starting September 3. This follows previous collaborations with the Royal Mint, including coins for 'Game of Thrones' and the British Grand Prix. The initiative reflects the Mint's ongoing efforts to create collectible items tied to popular culture and historical milestones.
