Overview
- The Royal Mint unveiled the two collectable 50p designs on Wednesday, Sept 2, and will put a Vulcan-salute coin on sale at 9am on Thursday, Sept 3 with prices starting at £19.95.
- A second 50p showing four spacecraft from different eras of the franchise will be released as an individual coin in November.
- Some editions will include colour to echo the vivid 1960s television uniforms and the wider shift to colour broadcasting that helped the original series stand out.
- The Mint and Paramount presented the release as a collectors’ collaboration aimed at fans, with Tim Mulhall and Ruth Henriquez providing promotional statements about the design and appeal.
- The Royal Mint cited close to 800,000 sci‑fi coins sold since 2023 to show demand and signal that this release could expand its licensed collector programme and online sales.
