[⌊Star Trek's intergalactic legacy is set to be immortalised on UK coins, as The Royal Mint marks 60 years of the franchise with two collectable 50p coins.⌉](https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1979351/The-Royal-Mint.jpg?id=OA2923200&p=medium600) Star Trek’s intergalactic legacy is set to be immortalised on UK coins, as The Royal Mint marks 60 years of the franchise with two collectable 50p coins. This marks the first time _Star Trek_ has featured on UK 50p coins, following the success of the Mint’s previous sci-fi collectable coin series, first introduced in 2023. This previous collection saw close to 800,000 coins find their way into collections across 60 countries worldwide. The first coin, available from 3 September, features the iconic Vulcan salute alongside the phrase "Live Long & Prosper" and "_Star Trek_ 60," marking the franchise’s landmark anniversary. The second coin, available in November, showcases four spacecraft spanning different eras of the franchise: _U.S.S_ _Voyager _NCC-74656, the U.S.S _Enterprise NCC-1701_, _Enterprise _– NCC-1701-D and the _Klingon Bird of Prey_ along with the phrase "_Star Trek_ 60". A selection of the coins will also feature colour, echoing the franchise’s own television history. When _Star Trek_ first aired in 1966, the cast’s vivid uniforms were deliberately designed to stand out on the new colour television sets just becoming available to audiences at the time. That same spirit of colour has now been beamed onto the coins themselves, with swirling blue and purple nebulas capturing the vast, uncharted reaches of space that Captain Kirk and the crew of the _U.S.S Enterprise_ set out to explore, ensuring the coins stand out just as strikingly today as those iconic uniforms once did on screen. **Tim Mulhall, Head of Fandom at The Royal Mint, said**: "It’s a privilege for The Royal Mint to boldly go, celebrating 60 years of _Star Trek_ with a keepsake that’s out of this world. Both collectable 50p coins are designed for fans who’ve grown up with the franchise and want a piece of that history to treasure. It’s a collectable built to live long and prosper in any collection and is a fitting way to mark six decades of a franchise that continues to inspire fans across the Galaxy." **Ruth** **Henriquez, Vice President of Products & Experiences, Paramount EMEA, said:** "_Star Trek_ has one of the most dedicated collector communities in the world, and these coins are a tribute to 60 years of the franchise. The Royal Mint carefully selects the brands it works with, and the affection generations of British fans have for Star Trek makes it a natural fit for this collaboration. Our partnership with The Royal Mint brings some of Star Trek’s most iconic symbols and spacecraft to fans through a unique collection created exclusively to mark this milestone anniversary, giving collectors a lasting keepsake to treasure for years to come." Since its first episode transmitted onto screens in September 1966, _Star Trek_ has grown into one of the most influential franchises in pop culture history, spanning 12 series, totalling more than 950 episodes and 14 movies that took more than $2 billion at the box office. _The Star Trek_ phenomenon continues today with 413,000 people currently learning Klingon on Duolingo and has eight asteroids and the first space orbiter named in its honour. Fans can secure both coins from 9am on 3 September at [www.royalmint.com](http://www.royalmint.com/), with prices starting from £19.95. --- | This article was produced by Cision PR Newswire, our trusted news partner.
