Star Trek's vision of the future is one brimming with optimism, emphasizing humanity's best attributes, and technological progress. Mirror, Mirror is an iconic Star Trek episode that questions what happens when humanity's less noble instincts are allowed to flourish? This fine silver collectable coin features a moment between Spock and McCoy from this episode in full colour.
A transporter malfunction sends Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, Lieutenant Uhura and Chief Engineer Scott into a "mirror" universe: one where everything seems the same onboard the Enterprise, but where the crew is comprised of opposite versions of themselves. Even the benevolent Federation has been replaced by a brutal regime known as the Terran Empire, which fosters fear and aggression. While the group tries to find a way back to their universe, each one struggles to impersonate their "evil" counterpart onboard the I.S.S. Enterprise, where torture is routinely used, promotion is achieved through assassination, and where threats of annihilation are used as a negotiation tactic.
