DESIGN
The reverse design features a rich colour application over the engraved portraits of the five captains of the Star TrekTM television series. From left to right, there’s Benjamin Sisko (played by Avery Brooks) of Star Trek™: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999); Jonathan Archer (portrayed by Scott Bakula) of the most recent series, Star Trek™: Enterprise (2001-2005); James T. Kirk (Canadian actor William Shatner) from Star Trek™: The Original Series (1966-1969); Jean-Luc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart) from Star Trek™: The Next Generation (1987-1994); and Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) of Star Trek™: Voyager (1995-2001). The portraits are positioned around an engraved Delta Shield Insignia and against a space background; they gently overlap the outer band in which the words “CANADA”, “STAR TREK” and the year “2017” are engraved.
When viewed in the dark, glow-in-the-dark elements reveal a second image on the reverse—a head-on view of U.S.S. Enterprise in flight. Between the Enterprise’s phaser beams lies an illuminated Delta Shield Insignia, which became the identifying emblem of Starfleet; it bears the five-point star that is indicative of a command rank.
