This is the second to last release in the seven-note Star Trek: The Next Generation Silver Coin Note Collection.
This precious metal keepsake is made from 5g of pure silver and features a coloured and engraved replica of Juan Ortiz’s poster artwork for the season 6 episode, "Chain of Command, Pt. I".
In this episode Picard is replaced as Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise so he, Lt. Worf and Dr. Crusher can go on a top-secret mission into Cardassian space to locate some metagenic weapons, genetically engineered viruses that destroy all living things in their path, that the Cardassians are rumoured to be developing and destroy them at any cost.
On Celtris III, the team are led into a trap. Beverly and Worf escape, but Picard is kidnapped and returned to Cardassian leader Gul Madred, who informs him that he must answer all questions asked of him or die. Meanwhile, his replacement, Captain Jellico, meets his new command with some resistance from the crew!
The obverse displays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and is legal tender in Niue. The unique number in the mintage is printed onto each coin note and it is presented in a protective sleeve which includes details of the note’s authenticity.
