Silver Ounce 2019 Star Trek - Captain Kirk, Coin from Tuvalu - detailed information
| ||||||
The Tuvaluan Dollar is the currency of Tuvalu - a small nation in the Pacific Ocean. Tuvalu has never had banknotes of its own, and has been issuing coins since 1976; these circulate together with coins of the Australian Dollar, which is also legal tender in the country, and to which the Tuvaluan Dollar is pegged. The Australian Perth Mint issues a large variety of non-circulating legal tender coins under the authority of Tuvalu. Some of these are in the silver ounce format (abbreviated as 1 oz). Strictly speaking, they are not bullion as they are priced at a premium and are targeted at collectors who appreciate them for their artistic merit and collectable value and not just for their precious metal content. This coin is part of a Perth Mint series of coloured one-ounce silver coins depicting Star Trek characters and themes, and features Captain Kirk. Captain Kirk was immortalised by William Shatner in Star Trek: The Original Series and in seven feature films. He also voiced the Captain in the animated version of the series. Kirk became Starfleet’s youngest captain and gained a reputation for unconventional tactics that were nonetheless almost always successful. In 2018, William Shatner suggested The Perth Mint design a Star Trek: The Original Series Kirk coin that included the planet Jupiter. The actor has since personally endorsed this release, declaring it to be “a lovely design filled with meaning”. | ||||||
