Description A WORLD FIRST! A delta-shaped coin! No strangers to time distortions, engine shutdowns, transporter malfunctions and even hostile takeovers, the U.S.S Enterprise (NCC-1701) and her crew exemplified resilience in the face of adversity. Their encounters with “new life and new civilizations” stirred the imaginations of Canadians young and old. Furthermore, their acts of courage, compassion and diplomacy typified humanity’s noble ideals—both in their time and ours. Star Trek and its hopeful vision for our future are represented by a powerful symbol: the delta-shaped Starfleet insignia worn by all U.S.S Enterprise personnel, including Captain James T. Kirk (played by Canadian actor William Shatner). This iconic emblem is widely recognized, even beyond the realm of fandom. It embodies hope for a future where humanity has come together as one. As a result, we are part of a broader community that stretches across the stars. For many fans, the insignia serves as a powerful visual reminder of just how far our imaginations could take us. In addition, it reminds us of much of what we can aspire to learn and become. Take the helm with this Starfleet Command insignia—part of our 50th anniversary of the Star Trek television series, which is beloved by many Canadians and credited with inspiring innovation in our time! This is the world’s first delta-shaped coin: Unique engraving techniques recreate the smooth, arrowhead-shaped insignia that has become associated with the U.S.S Enterprise, Starfleet, and the Star Trek universe! The past meets the present—and the future: Cutting-edge technology recreates a classic design to produce a truly timeless collectible. Crafted from 99.99% pure gold with a very low mintage—a one-of-a-kind collectible that will shine in your collection. An official licensed product approved by CBS Studios. Detailed engraving and contrasting finishing instill this unusually shaped coin with an inspiring, nostalgic feel. Its arrowhead shape mimics that of the iconic Delta Shield Insignia, which was worn by the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise and became the identifying emblem of Starfleet. Did you know… • In The Original Series, each ship and installation had their own assignment patches. The Starfleet insignia is the Enterprise’s patch, which was later adopted by Starfleet and worn by all members in recognition of the crew’s five-year mission. A different Starfleet insignia was featured in the episodes Charlie X and The Omega Glory. The U.S.S Enterprise falls under the authority of Starfleet. In turn, Starfleet is itself under the authority of the United Federation of Planets. Early episodes referenced United Earth Space Probe Agency (UESPA) (Charlie X, Tomorrow Is Yesterday) before Starfleet was established as the authority in command of the Enterprise (Court Martial). Other terms included Star Service (The Conscience of the King). Others were Spacefleet Command (The Squire of Gothos) and even Space Central (Miri). Starfleet’s responsibilities include exploration, research, defence in space and diplomacy. During first contacts, Starfleet officers have the authority to act as official representatives of the Federation.
