Overview
- The Royal Mint began selling the new Star Trek collectable 50p coins on Wednesday, September 3, with prices starting at £19.95 and availability from 9am on the Mint’s website.
- One design features the Vulcan salute with the inscription “Live Long & Prosper” and “Star Trek 60,” while a second design depicts four spacecraft from different eras of the franchise.
- The Vulcan-salute coin is on sale individually from launch and a spacecraft coin will be offered individually in November, though both designs can be bought together from launch.
- A selection of the coins is finished in colour to echo the show’s early use of colour television, and Royal Mint and Paramount spokespeople framed the release as a tribute to the franchise’s collector community.
- The Mint has not published mintage figures, so long-term value will depend on how many are struck, the chosen finish and condition, and the issue follows the Mint’s successful 2023 sci‑fi range that sold widely to collectors.
