Description
A Glimpse Into the Future—From the Past
Long before the smartphone became a daily essential, Star Trek introduced the world to the communicator—a sleek, futuristic device used by the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise to stay connected, often summoning the ship with the iconic phrase, “Beam me up.” In this fine silver collectible, the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates both the character most associated with this tech—Chief Engineer Montgomery “Scotty” Scott—and the tool itself, in honor of Star Trek’s 50th anniversary. Portrayed by Canadian actor James Doohan, Scotty remains a fan favorite, just like the tech he famously operated.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

Impressive Minting Artistry
A shining example of the Royal Canadian Mint’s expert craftsmanship: selective color brings the character to life, while contrasting finishes and deep engravings enhance every detail of the featured Trek device.
DESIGN DETAILS
On the reverse, artistry and sci-fi nostalgia meet in a dynamic composition combining both color and finely engraved details. To the left, Chief Engineer Scotty appears in full color, dressed in his signature red operations uniform and holding the communicator—a handheld device that predates today’s mobile tech.
To the right, a close-up, engraved rendering of the communicator showcases its classic flip-top lid, button controls, speaker grill, and even the internal wiring, offering a detailed look at this legendary gadget. Together, Scotty and the communicator subtly overlap an engraved backdrop of the Starfleet Delta Shield, grounding the design firmly in the Star Trek universe.
A timeless piece for fans and collectors alike, this coin honors not just the characters and technology of Star Trek, but the visionary spirit that continues to inspire generations.
