The Vulcan salute—made by parting the fingers between the middle and ring fingers while extending the thumb—was introduced by Leonard Nimoy as Spock in the original Star Trek series. That memorable gesture is recreated as a shaped silver coin from the New Zealand Mint. Today, 2025 1 oz Proof Niue Star Trek Silver Live Long and Prosper Coins are available at BullionMax.

Coin Highlights:

• Comes with a presentation box and a Certificate of Authenticity!
• Ultra-high-relief silver coin shaped like the Vulcan Salute!
• Proof visuals!
• Limited mintage of only 1,000 coins!
• Contains 1 troy oz of .999 pure silver.
• The face value of $2 (NZD) is fully backed by the Niuean government.
• On the obverse is the Public Seal of Niue.
• The reverse replicates Spock’s hand with the Vulcan Salute.

Nimoy’s idea drew on a childhood memory of a Jewish blessing, the priestly benediction (Birkat Kohanim), where a similar hand shape is used—traditionally with both hands to form the Hebrew letter Shin. Over time, the Vulcan salute moved beyond its sci-fi roots and became a widely recognized sign in popular culture, associated with peace, logic, and goodwill well outside Star Trek circles.

Each 2025 1 oz Proof Niue Star Trek Silver Live Long and Prosper Coin ships in a presentation box and includes a Certificate of Authenticity from the mint. The coin follows the outline of Spock’s Vulcan salute, with ultra-high-relief detail on the reverse and proof finishes across both sides.

On the obverse of 2025 Proof Niue Star Trek Silver Live Long and Prosper Coins, you’ll see the Public Seal of Niue. The design features a ring of seashells, native flora at the center, and a Sovereign crown above. The crown reflects Niue’s ties to the Commonwealth.

The reverse of the 2025 1 oz Proof Star Trek Silver Live Long and Prosper Coin presents Spock’s well-known salute. Beyond wishing “live long and prosper,” the gesture reflects key Vulcan ideals: reason over impulse, peace over conflict, and unity among differences.
