The Vulcan salute, performed by separating the fingers into a V-shape between the middle and ring fingers while keeping the thumb extended, was created by Leonard Nimoy for his portrayal of Spock in the original Star Trek series. This iconic salute from the original Star Trek series is beautifully captured in a shaped silver coin from New Zealand Mint.

Nimoy drew inspiration from a Jewish blessing he remembered from his childhood, specifically the priestly blessing (Birkat Kohanim) where rabbis would form a similar hand gesture, though traditionally using both hands to create the Hebrew letter Shin. The Vulcan salute transcended its science fiction origins to become one of the most recognizable gestures in popular culture, extending far beyond Star Trek fandom. It has been adopted as a symbol of peace, logic, and goodwill across diverse communities.

On the obverse of 2025 Proof Niue Star Trek Silver Live Long and Prosper Coins, you will find the Public Seal of Niue. The national coat of arms features a ring of seashells with native flora at the center and a Sovereign crown overhead. The crown represents Niue’s association with the Commonwealth.

Beyond its surface meaning of wishing longevity and prosperity, the Vulcan salute symbolizes the philosophical ideals central to Vulcan culture: logic over emotion, peace over conflict, and unity despite diversity.
