This coin celebrates Lt. Nyota Uhura, who pioneered a place for Black female characters in science fiction in her role as the communications officer on Captain Kirk’s U.S.S. Enterprise. Her role in inspiring greater diversity in science and space exploration was highlighted by luminaries like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Whoopi Goldberg, and Dr. Mae Jemison (the first Black woman to fly on the Space Shuttle). The role has since been reprised both on the big and small screens and remains a popular part of the Trek franchise.
The reverse is a colorized, shaped sculpture of Uhura in the signature adorable Chibi style. Her design is based on her iconic Sixties look featuring her signature red dress and bouffant hairstyle.
On the obverse is an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, joined by the inscriptions “Elizabeth II,” “Niue,” “2 Dollars” and “1 oz 999 Fine Silver,” along with the trademark and copyright of CBS Studios Inc.
