The New Zealand Mint releases the second of three coins in its Star Trek Ownership Manual Series with the Starfleet Communicator design. The Starfleet communicator is a handheld communication device prominently featured in the original Star Trek series, resembling a small, flip-open device roughly the size of a bar of soap with a distinctive gold grille cover. Right now, 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Niue Silver Star Trek Starfleet Communicator Owner’s Manual Coins are available at JM Bullion.

Each 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Niue Silver Star Trek Starfleet Communicator Owner’s Manual Coin comes with a presentation box that includes a Certificate of Authenticity. The coins are proof specimens with frosted devices and mirrored fields on both sides, as well as colorization on the reverse field.

When the Starfleet Communicator is activated, with its characteristic chirping sound, the communicator opens to reveal an antenna grid and speaker system that enables voice communication between crew members on away missions and their starship in orbit. The device’s compact design represented revolutionary thinking for 1960s audiences, predating and arguably inspiring the development of real-world flip phones and mobile communication devices by decades.

The obverse of 2025 Proof Colorized Niue Silver Star Trek Starfleet Communicator Owner’s Manual Coins comes with both the Public Seal of Niue and the seal of the United Federation of Planets. 

On the reverse of 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Silver Star Trek Starfleet Communicator Coins is the design of the owner’s manual. This red book cover showcases the image of the device in pure silver. A Starfleet communicator owner’s manual would open with basic operation instructions, detailing the proper flip-open technique to activate the device and the standard hailing procedure of speaking the recipient’s name or ship designation immediately after the activation chirp. The manual would explain the device’s control interface, including the frequency adjustment dial, volume controls, and channel selection for switching between ship-to-shore, inter-team, and emergency frequencies.
