| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized Starfleet Command logo rendered in relief, with the Samoan Coat of Arms positioned below it. The denomination appears at the lower right of the field. The upper arc bears the legend 'SAMOA 2023' and 'STAR TREK™', while 'HALF DOLLAR' and the Samoan national motto 'FA'AVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA' complete the inscriptions. The design employs a clean, emblematic composition befitting a licensed commemorative issue. |

| Additional information |
Samoa has issued novelty legal-tender pieces under licensing arrangements with major IP holders since the early 2010s, with Star Trek among the franchises that have generated multiple releases. These are collector items produced for the souvenir market, not monetary instruments that ever entered circulation — the face value is nominal by design and bears no relationship to production cost or metal value.
The iron core beneath the gold plating will corrode if the surface is breached. Long-term storage in humidity-controlled conditions matters more here than for most issues.
