| Reverse description | A large stylized numeral '50' dominates the field of the Star Trek delta insignia-shaped flan, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise. The figures are rendered in a bold mirror-like finish against a frosted background, with the five-pointed Starfleet delta star integrated into the design. The copyright legend TM & © 2016 CBS. ARR. is inscribed along the lower left edge of the flan. |

| Additional information |
Issued under Tuvalu's long-running licensing arrangement with foreign mints — in this case the Perth Mint — which has used the nation's sovereign issuing authority to produce collectible commemorative coinage since the 1990s. The Star Trek franchise celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2016, and several mints worldwide competed for licensing rights to that milestone, producing a crowded field of issues across multiple countries simultaneously.
Tuvalu itself has no meaningful domestic coin circulation economy; these pieces are struck exclusively for the international collector market.
