| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-colour portrait of Pavel Chekov, the fictional Star Trek character, depicted in three-quarter view wearing his gold Starfleet uniform and holding a communicator device. The background of the field features a coloured starfield with planetary bodies and the Starfleet delta insignia to the right. The legend I AM PROUD OF WHAT I AM arcs along the upper periphery, with STAR TREK inscribed at the top rim. The name PAVEL CHEKOV appears in raised lettering along the lower border, and the copyright notice TM & © 2023 CBS. ARR. is inscribed in small characters within the field. The design is framed by the same decorative arrow-and-chevron border as the obverse. |

| Additional information |
This is a licensed pop-culture novelty struck under Samoa's permissive commemorative coinage program, which has produced dozens of entertainment-franchise pieces since the early 2000s. Gold-plated iron at this weight is a cost format common to the souvenir end of the market — Samoa has issued similar pieces for Star Trek characters, Marvel properties, and vintage car themes, none intended for circulation.
